LE Havre vs Paris Saint Germain Prediction

Very different recent patterns

Le Havre's last 20 matches across competitions show just 3 wins against 8 losses, with goals hard to come by. Their recent Ligue 1 run includes a draw with Angers, a loss to Brest and a narrow defeat to Monaco, so there's not much to suggest a turnaround is close.

LE Havre: 20 completed matches; Paris Saint Germain: 20 completed matches.

PSG's sample is stronger overall, 9 wins from 20, but their league form has wobbled lately. A 6-1 Champions League thrashing of Slovan Bratislava sits alongside league losses to Brest and Monaco and draws with Lille and Rennes, so consistency hasn't been a given even for them.

PSG look the stronger side on paper, but their own league form has had dips worth noting.

Comparative Team Statistics: LE Havre vs Paris Saint Germain

History heavily favours the visitors

Looking back over recent meetings, PSG have won five of the last eight, drawn one and lost just once to Le Havre. Some of those scorelines have been lopsided, including a 3-0 and a 4-1 in PSG's favour, plus a 9-0 friendly result from a few seasons back.

That run spans several years and different squads, so it's more a pointer than a guarantee for this specific fixture. Still, Le Havre haven't had much joy against PSG at home in that sample.

The table tells its own story

Five games into the league season, PSG sit sixth with 8 points, while Le Havre are down in 18th with just 2. PSG have scored 8 and conceded 7, Le Havre have scored 4 and conceded 7, so the gap in output as well as position is clear.

Attacking names to watch

Ferran Torres has four goals in five appearances for PSG recently, with Marquinhos chipping in three and Fabián Ruiz supplying two assists, so PSG do have players finding form individually even amid the mixed team results.
