At Parc des Princes on 22 November 2025, PSG welcome Le Havre in a match where the champions are expected to reassert control domestically before turning their attention to their next Champions League assignment. While PSG have not been quite as dominant as last season, their overall level remains high enough to manage these fixtures with authority.
PSG Looking to Win Without Overspending Energy
Luis Enrique’s side continue to lead Ligue 1, combining strong possession play with steady defensive organisation. The break likely helped them recover key players and reset mentally ahead of a demanding period. Given the proximity of their European fixture, PSG are expected to play with focus but also with control, aiming to secure the points without turning the match into an exhausting high-tempo shootout. Their performances at home typically reflect a balance between efficiency and risk management.
Le Havre Improved but Still Outmatched
Le Havre have made visible progress compared to last season, particularly in defensive structure. Their compactness, discipline, and organisation make them harder to break down, and they tend to avoid chaotic matches. However, facing PSG in Paris remains a challenge far beyond what they usually handle. Le Havre may keep their lines tight and show resilience, but their limited attacking potential and the quality gap almost certainly restrict their ambitions to damage control.
Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals
Although PSG are expected to win comfortably, the match profile points more toward controlled dominance rather than an avalanche of goals. Le Havre’s defensive improvement and PSG’s likely desire to manage energy sensibly before Europe both suggest a capped scoreline.
The selection is Under 3.5 goals.
