Paris-Le Havre: A shock of titans to test
Paris Saint-Germain will host Le Havre on Saturday 19 April at 5 pm at the Parc des Princes for the 30th day of Ligue 1. An eagerly awaited match, but one that promises to be a real challenge for HAC players.
The PSG, undefeated and undisputed leader with 74 points, is in full shape. The last series of four wins and a single draw testifies to a team looking for invincibility. The offensive stars of the Parisian club, led by Luis Enrique, seem unstoppable.
In contrast, Le Havre sails in more troubled waters. With 27 points, the Norman club fights for its retention in League 1. The last period saw two wins, two defeats and one draw, with 9 goals scored against 12 conceded. It is imperative that defence be strong in the face of Parisian firepower.
Historically, the confrontations between the two teams are largely in favour of the PSG, which won four of the last five meetings. Le Havre finally hopes to break this black series and achieve a positive result, crucial for its future.
The task is expected to be even more difficult for Le Havre due to the absence of several key elements: Y. Kitala, D. N. Mosengo and A. Logbo, all injured. These absences create gaping holes in the working force, which will have to draw from its resources to pose problems to the Parisian giant.
The meeting will be broadcast live on beIN Sports 1. Paris and Le Havre fans will be able to follow the live text match on our website.
At the same time, the PSG must compose without Willian Pacho, who will be put to rest until Sunday due to illness. The club also confirmed the postponement of the meeting against Strasbourg, counting for the 32nd day of Ligue 1, which will be held on Saturday 3 May at 5 p.m.
Luis Enrique will therefore have to deal with the absences and intensity of the coming week, which will include a match against Le Havre, then Nantes Tuesday, and Nice Friday, 26 April, followed by the shock against Arsenal on Tuesday 29 April at the Emirates for the semi-final go of the Champions League. The Parisian club is about to live a very intense week.
