PSG continue their march towards the title as they welcome Le Havre to the Parc des Princes for a Ligue 1 clash on Saturday. Le Havre have been poor in recent times and should find it difficult at the home of the Champions.
PSG are coming off a 4-1 victory at Lorient in their previous League 1 fixture. They were untroubled for much of the encounter with a pair of braces from Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe earned them all three points.
Sitting 11 points clear at the top of the standings, PSG appear to have entered title winning mode in recent weeks. That was their third straight 4-1 winners having claimed a similar victory over Barcelona in the Champions League and Lyon in their previous home fixture.
Although PSG are still generally solid this season, they have looked a bit suspect at the Parc des Princes in recent times. Luis Enrique’s men have won two and drawn four of their last six Ligue 1 home matches.
It has been a poor campaign for Le Havre who have spent much of their time mired in the relegation zone. The good news is that they are only one point from safety and can climb to 14th if results go their way this weekend.
While Le Havre are not too far away from safety, the problem is that they have shown little fight in recent weeks and were beaten 1-0 by Metz last time out. Luka Elsners men have claimed just one win from their last 13 matches, suffering nine defeats and failing to score in three of the last four matches in that run.
Le Havre have also found things difficult on their travels this season, picking up just one away win this season. However, they played out a 1-1 draw at Lens in their previous fixture on the road.
PSG are considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at 3/10 by Paddy Power. An unlikely victory for Le Havre is valued at 17/2 by Betfred while a draw is set at odds of 19/4 by bet365.
PSG have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning the last nine matches against Le Havre. The Parisians claimed a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in December with Kylian Mbappe opening the scoring.
Kylian Mbappe marked his return to the team with a brace last time out and will be the one to watch on Saturday. The forward now has 26 Ligue 1 goals and is priced at 3/4 by Unibet to get in the score sheet.
Given Le Havre’s scoring problems, PSG will be targeting a shutout on Saturday. Betaldo has been a mainstay at the back for the Parisians and can lead the team to a clean sheet at evens with BoyleSports.
PSG have won to nil in their last four matches against Le Havre and could be set for a similar outcome at 5/4 with BetVictor. There have been a few one-sided results in that run, which means a -2 handicap could be considered at 13/5 with Paddy Power.
The Parisians are expected to be dominant on Saturday and could be backed to score in both halves at 2/1 with Paddy Power.
