Le Havre need a change in direction
Le Havre have won none of their eight Ligue 1 matches, taking two points, and sit 18th in the standings. Their task is to climb the table against leaders Paris Saint Germain, who have 17 points from eight games. The gap in results is stark, but the home side will have Stade Océane behind them as they seek a first league victory.
Le Havre have scored eight goals this season and conceded 15. Their home record is one draw and three defeats from four matches, with only two goals scored at Stade Océane. PSG, by contrast, have won three of five away games and average two goals per match overall.
A sharp contrast in form
Le Havre’s last five have brought one draw and four defeats: six goals scored and 11 conceded. PSG have won all five of their most recent matches, scoring 11 and letting in just three. Their league sequence has reached five straight wins, while Le Havre’s latest run reads four losses followed by a draw.
PSG have held the upper hand
Paris Saint Germain are unbeaten in the last five meetings, winning four and drawing one. The most recent meeting, in February, ended 1-0 to PSG at Le Havre. The sides’ last five encounters have produced 13 PSG goals, while Le Havre have scored five.
Absences on both sides
Le Havre are without E. Jelert, F. Mambimbi, L. Mpasi-Nzau, T. Pembele, A. Toure and S. Zagadou. PSG are missing O. Dembele, K. Kvaratskhelia, A. Longoni, Marquinhos and N. Mendes.
Late goals could matter
Le Havre have scored five of their eight league goals in the 76th minute or later, suggesting they may need patience if they are to make their home support count. PSG have also been productive late, scoring six of their 16 league goals between the 61st and 75th minutes and four more in the final quarter-hour.
Our prediction
PSG’s five-match winning streak, stronger scoring record and unbeaten run in this fixture point to the visitors having the edge, despite several absences. Le Havre’s home scoring record makes a comeback difficult to envisage, and the model’s most likely outcome is a two-goal PSG victory.
