Paris Saint-Germain Team Overview
🔵 This season in Ligue 1 has been challenging for PSG as they constantly compete with Lens, frequently swapping places in the top two. Currently, the Parisians hold a two-point lead, which was only established in the previous round thanks to a slip-up by the "Blood and Gold." In their last French league match, PSG convincingly defeated Metz (3-0), leaving their opponents with no chance.
🔴 Recently, Luis Enrique's squad played the second leg of their Champions League fixture against Monaco, ending in a 2-2 draw. However, this result was enough to secure their place in the Champions League Round of 16, as they had previously beaten the "Monegasques" (3-2). This impressive victory has undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the already formidable capital team.

Latest news
Havre
❌ Among the latest setbacks for Le Havre, Loïc Nego is notable. The defender picked up an injury in the previous round against Nantes. Aruna Sangante is suspended following a red card, while Abdoulaye Touré is still recovering from an injury sustained in the 13th round.

Paris Saint-Germain
🎙 PSG head coach Luis Enrique shared his thoughts on the team's Russian goalkeeper: “Safonov is a top-level goalkeeper, an international player. He possesses all the physical and technical qualities of a modern top goalkeeper. Matvey is good with his feet, and we like that. He's brave, physically very strong. Given how we defend, I think we leave a lot of space for opponents, which creates real danger. He perfectly fits our vision. Safonov has shown he can perform at a high level whenever he's in the starting lineup. Even when he's not starting. He's a very good goalkeeper, and I'm glad to have three top-level goalkeepers. I want them all ready to play. I know what I'll do, but I'm not telling.”
❌ PSG face a significant setback with the absence of Ousmane Dembele. The Parisian club's forward is recovering from an injury. Additionally, Senny Mayulu, Joao Neves, and Fabian Ruiz won't be able to assist their teammates as they remain sidelined.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The upcoming match will be officiated by Marc Bollengier. Over the span of 76 matches he has refereed, he averages 3.45 yellow cards per game, with 27 fouls. In Ligue 1, the yellow card stats for the teams over 23 matches are as follows: Le Havre average 1.9 per game, while PSG average 1. Both teams have not been frequently cautioned this season, so we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Le Havre's average individual total in the French championship is 0.9 goals per match, whereas PSG's is significantly higher at 2.3. Considering that the "Dark Blues" do not score in every Ligue 1 match, a bet on the hosts' individual total under 0.5 seems quite reasonable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In their 23 Ligue 1 matches, Le Havre have averaged 4.7 corners per game, while PSG have averaged 6.1 over the same period. Luis Enrique's side earn set-pieces from the corner more frequently than their opponents and show above-average league statistics, so we recommend betting on PSG to win on corners.
Editorial Prediction
We're in for a clash between teams of unequal strength. PSG boast a significantly stronger squad and superior performance metrics across the board. With nothing less than a victory acceptable for the Parisians, they will field their strongest lineup. Taking all this into account, we suggest betting on the visitors to win with a -1.5 handicap. We predict Paris Saint-Germain will secure a 3-0 victory.
