PSG vs Le Havre prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2024-04-26 19:00.
[p]All eyes will be on the Parc des Princes this weekend as PSG’s dominance this season may finally bear fruit, as a win over Le Havre will crown them Ligue 1 champions for a record-extending 12th time. Such an outcome has had an air of inevitability about it for some time now, as should the Parisians indeed be victorious here, it would be the fifth occasion in their last six title-winning campaigns that they’ve secured league honors before the month of May, excluding the covid-affected 2019/20 season.[/p]
[p]The driving force behind their success this time around has been racking up what is now a 25-game unbeaten run in the league (W18, D7), meaning that they’re fast approaching their single season undefeated record of 27 games set in 2015/16. Achieving that feat would be another feather in manager Luis Enrique’s cap in his first season at the club, not to mention their future participation in the Coupe de France final and the possibility of bringing a long-awaited UEFA Champions League triumph to the French capital. [/p]
[p]Standing in their way of domestic glory this weekend are Le Havre, who find themselves on the opposite end of the spectrum to their hosts. Consecutive 1-0 defeats against Nantes and Metz respectively in recent weeks have seen them slip into the relegation zone for the first time this season, after Metz leapfrogged them off the back of that result. [/p]
[p]Their issues run deeper though, as those defeats make up the tail-end of a run featuring eight defeats across their last ten matches (W1, D1). Sparking any sort of revival here against the incumbent champions seems unlikely then, and their odds only seem to worsen when considering that they’ve also lost the last six H2Hs, failing to score in four of those. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Ousmane Dembélé has scored in his last three matches for PSG, with all of those strikes acting as his side’s opening goal on the day. His efforts could potentially be canceled out by any errors from the men behind him, since Le Havre’s top-scorer this season Emmanuel Sabbi’s last two goals have come on the road and from the penalty spot. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: There have been over 3.5 goals in seven of PSG’s last ten games. [/p]
