Le Havre vs Paris Saint-Germain: Match details
Les Ciel et Marine host champions in Friday night Ligue 1 clash
Getty ImagesParis Saint-Germain travel to the Stade Oceane to face Le Havre in a Ligue 1 fixture that pits the defending champions against a side fighting at the wrong end of the table.
PSG arrive on the back of five consecutive wins across all competitions, including a 4-2 Champions League victory over Barcelona that confirmed their status as genuine contenders on every front. Luis Enrique's side have scored freely throughout that run, conceding just six goals across those five outings.
The week has not been without pain. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during the Barcelona match and faces surgery in Doha, ending his season entirely. Marquinhos is also struggling with a thigh problem, though Enrique has made clear he has no intention of rushing into the transfer market to cover the absences.
Getty ImagesLe Havre sit bottom of Ligue 1 and are without a league win this season. Didier Digard's side lost 4-3 to Marseille in their most recent outing, a result that continued a difficult run and left them adrift at the foot of the table. They head into this fixture carrying four injury absentees, with their squad depth stretched thin.
For PSG, this trip to Le Havre represents a chance to build further momentum in the title race. A win would consolidate their position among the leading pack and keep pressure on the sides above them.

Key matchup: Josh Maja vs Willian Pacho
In-form impact striker: Josh Maja turned the tide at the Vélodrome after coming off the bench, scoring a penalty and adding a sharp second within twelve minutes. His penalty-box instincts and clinical finishing will demand strict marking from Paris' backline.
Getty ImagesDefensive cornerstone: Ecuadorian centre-back Willian Pacho anchored PSG’s clean sheet against Lyon, winning multiple tackles and completing 83 accurate passes. Pacho will be tasked with tracking Maja's runs and neutralising Le Havre's aerial counter-attacks.
