PSG will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 1-4 Ligue 1 victory over FC Lorient.

In that match, Paris Saint-Germain managed 59% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. For Paris Saint-Germain, the goalscorers were Ousmane Dembélé (19', 60') and Kylian Mbappé (22', 90'). Lorient had 11 shots on goal with 6 on target. Mohamed Bamba (73') was the scorer for FC Lorient.

Paris Saint-Germain have been conceding pretty frequently lately, although they have also managed to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Paris Saint-Germain have been punished defensively in 5 of them in addition to managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those games. That sort of pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, of course.

Ahead of this meeting, Paris Saint-Germain have not been beaten in the league by Havre AC in their last 6 games.

Havre AC

Since tasting defeat last time out to FC Metz in Ligue 1 action, Havre AC will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Havre AC managed 64% possession and 16 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. For their opponents, Metz had 9 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Georges Mikautadze (46') scored for FC Metz.

It is worth noting that Havre AC have struggled for goals in their past six games, contributing the poor return of only 3. In those fixtures, Le club doyen have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 7.

Their prior results show that Havre AC:

• have not emerged victorious against Paris Saint-Germain in games played away from home for the previous 4 matches in the league. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• are without an away win for the past 9 league matches. Very poor, indeed.

↔️ Head to head

In all, 14 goals were produced between them in these games, with 12 for Les Rouge-et-Bleu and 2 being from Le club doyen. The average goals per game has been 2.33.

ℹ️ Team News: PSG

Sergio Rico (Fitness) and Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon rupture) are unavailable for PSG boss Luis Enrique.

In all likelihood, Les Rouge-et-Bleu should go for a 4-3-3 system for this game featuring Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Lucas Hernandez, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Kang-In Lee, Ousmane Dembele, Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola.

📋 Team News: Havre AC

We’re of the thinking that Le club doyen could decide to utilise a 5-3-2 formation, going with Arthur Desmas, Arouna Sangante, E. Youte Kinkoue, Gautier Lloris, Josue Casimir, Christopher Operi, Daler Kuzyaev, Oussama Targhalline, Yassine Kechta, Andre Ayew and Emmanuel Sabbi.

💡 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Havre AC are dangerous enough to get a goal against this Paris Saint-Germain team, although it is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We reckon that it will be a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Paris Saint-Germain when the full-time whistle blows. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
