Le Havre vs Paris FC prediction: Draw the most probable outcome
Key stats
- Le Havre have lost back-to-back games without scoring.
- Le Club Doyen have scored just twice across their last five games.
- Paris FC are winless in three successive outings (D1, L2).
- The Parisians have won two of their seven away trips this term (D1, L4).
Correct score prediction: Le Havre 1-1 Paris FC
Le Havre four-match undefeated streak came to a halt at PSG, who thrashed them 3-0, before Lille edged them by a 1-0 scoreline to inflict back-to-back defeats. Didier Digard’s men sit just three points above the relegation zone, and anything other than a victory will further deepen their woes.
Stephane Gilli’s Paris FC are in a similar situation after beginning the season with aplomb. Sitting just one point above Le Havre, their return of just one victory across their last seven games makes this a significant trip.
Both sides are in contentious form, and we expect the duo to play out a hard-fought draw in the north of France.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Paris with the momentum
- HOME: 8/5 (2.60) –38.4%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 8/50 (2.60) – 38.4%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Le Havre have been in decent form on home turf, losing just twice across seven games (W2, D3). The bookies price the Sky and Navy Blue to emerge victorious with 8/5 (2.60) odds, suggesting a 38.4% probability of success – the same assigned to Paris FC, who are seeking a second away win in three outings

The 27-year-old will be eager to add to his tally of 10 goal contributions this season (G6, A4).
