The Matchday 30 clash in Ligue 1 between PSG and Le Havre will take place on April 19 at Parc des Princes in Paris. PSG vs. Le Havre: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
PSG
The Parisians missed the previous round, but in their last Ligue 1 outing, they defeated Angers 1-0, securing the championship title ahead of schedule. This victory marked the capital club's ninth consecutive win in the French top flight. Notably, this is PSG's longest winning streak in the league since October 2021. Additionally, in the previous tournament match, PSG ended their streak of conceding goals in Ligue 1, which had lasted for five matches. PSG remains the only team in the current championship that has not lost at home (12 wins, 2 draws).
- The club's goal-scoring streak in Ligue 1 stands at 14 matches, scoring at least twice in 11 of them.
- Both teams scored in 12 of PSG's last 14 matches in this tournament.
- The Parisians failed to keep a clean sheet in 7 of their last 8 home matches in the French championship.
Predicted lineup for PSG (4-3-3)
Gianluigi Donnarumma – Lucas Hernandez, William Pacho, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi – Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Gonçalo Ramos, Désiré Doué.
Le Havre
After two consecutive wins in Ligue 1, the club suffered a defeat in the last round against Rennes, being thrashed 1-5. This loss was Le Havre's 18th in the current championship (8 wins, 3 draws), with 13 of those defeats by at least a two-goal margin. Following the setback against the Bretons, the team slipped into the relegation playoff zone in the Ligue 1 standings, dropping to 16th place. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the club consistently finds the net, extending their goal-scoring streak in the championship to 10 matches.
- At least four goals were scored in 6 of Le Havre's last 8 Ligue 1 matches.
- The club avoided defeat in 5 of their last 6 away matches in the championship (3 wins, 2 draws).
- On the road, the team has scored in 9 consecutive matches in the French top flight, netting at least twice in the last 4 games.
Predicted lineup for Le Havre (4-5-1)
Mathieu Gorgelin – Loïc Nego, Arouna Sangante, Gautier Lloris, Timothée Pembélé – Junior Mwanga, Abdoulaye Touré, Yassine Kechta, Josué Casimir, Issa Soumaré – André Ayew.

PSG vs. Le Havre: Match Prediction
The Parisians, after securing their record 13th championship title in Matchday 27, have not played in Ligue 1 since. Their previous match against Nantes was postponed due to PSG's participation in the Champions League quarter-finals. Therefore, the upcoming match will be the first for the capital team as the champions of the current season. I believe the hosts will put on a show for their home fans, especially since the opponent is suitable. Le Havre plays poorly in defense, having already conceded 62 goals in the current Ligue 1 season.
It is unlikely that the visitors will withstand the best attack of the tournament in Paris. In the last round, the team managed to concede five goals against an inconsistent Rennes, even at home. Moreover, Le Havre has suffered several heavy defeats in the current Ligue 1 season. In 13 of their 18 losses this season, the club was defeated by at least a two-goal margin. PSG defeated the upcoming opponent 4-0 in the first round without any problems. Furthermore, PSG has beaten this opponent by at least a two-goal margin in 4 of their last 5 Ligue 1 meetings.
I believe that despite the additional European match this week, the hosts have enough squad depth and energy reserves to secure a confident victory in the upcoming match. My prediction: PSG with a handicap (-2)
