PSG Faces Le Havre in Ligue 1: Injury Updates and Match Predictions Ahead of Kickoff

This weekend, Ligue 1 resumes with the 13th matchday. Paris Saint-Germain is set to host Le Havre at Parc des Princes on Saturday at 21:05, two weeks after their hard-fought victory in Lyon.

The period following the international break has been challenging for PSG, who suffered a setback in the Champions League against Bayern Munich (1-2) and lost key players including Dembélé, Hakimi, Doué, and Mendes. In Ligue 1, they also dropped points against Strasbourg (3-3) and Lorient (0-0), yet they remain at the top of the standings, largely thanks to their recent win in Lyon (2-3) just before the international fixtures.

On the other hand, Le Havre is in good form, distancing themselves from the relegation zone. The Normandy club is unbeaten in their last four matches and has climbed to 12th place in the French league, now four points clear of the relegation playoff position ahead of this 13th matchday.

PSG injury updates

Hakimi and Doué will miss the match, while Dembélé and Nuno Mendes remain uncertain. Their availability will be assessed by coach Luis Enrique in the coming days.

Predicted PSG lineup vs Le Havre

Starting XI: Chevalier – Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos, Zabarnyi, L. Hernandez – Vitinha, Mayulu, Neves – Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, Barcola.

Le Havre injury updates

Delaine, Khadra, and Samatta are all doubtful for Le Havre’s trip to Parc des Princes.

Three predictions for PSG vs Le Havre

1. PSG to keep a clean sheet

PSG has managed only two clean sheets in their last nine competitive matches, against Nice and Brest. Lucas Chevalier may kick off the final stretch of the calendar year with a shutout.

2. Paris win

Despite Le Havre’s impressive run, Paris is expected to secure a solid victory before facing Tottenham in the Champions League.

PSG 3 – 0 Le Havre

3. A defender to score

In a match where PSG is likely to dominate, a defender could shine, with Marquinhos potentially marking his 500th appearance in the red and blue jersey with a goal.
