Since returning to the French top flight at the beginning of 2023-24, Le Havre have finished in the bottom half of the table in three consecutive seasons, and they are enduring a torrid start to this very campaign.
No side has suffered more defeats than Le Club Doyen’s six in Ligue 1 this term, having also lost each of their last four league outings.
However, last weekend’s loss against Marseille offered a rare positive, as Didier Digard's side fought back from four goals behind to within one goal of their opponents, suffering a 4-3 defeat.
The Normandy club’s home performances have also left little margin for error, as Le Havre have gone without a victory at Stade Oceane since beating Toulouse in February, drawing four and losing five league matches during that period.
PSG travel to Normandy after moving to the top of Ligue 1 with a 2-0 victory over Lyon on Monday, a result that extended their winning sequence to five games in the league.
Luis Enrique's side have also collected three successive away league victories, giving them a platform to pursue another positive result on the road despite having only three full days to recover from their latest fixture.
The Parisian club have also shown their quality against elite European opposition this season, recording convincing Champions League victories over Manchester City and Barcelona, and they sit top of the 36-team table.
PSG enter into Friday’s encounter further buoyed by their dominant record in this very fixture, having recorded wins in each of their last five league visits to Le Havre.

Whispers predicts: Le Havre 1-3 PSG
PSG to win and over 2.5 goals at 1.44 (4/9) is an appealing pick because PSG have the quality to take control against a side that has conceded 11 times across its last four league matches, while the visitors' recent winning run supports the expectation of an away victory.
Second-half over 1.5 goals at 1.53 (8/15) is also worth backing for those expecting the match to open up after the interval, while both teams to score – yes also stands out considering PSG’s formidable attack and Le Havre’s optimism after their late rally against Marseille.
A 3-1 correct score victory in favour of PSG at 10.00 (9/1) is a higher-risk selection offering an attractive return for bettors who anticipate the visitors' attacking quality proving decisive without keeping a clean sheet.
