Match Preview for Paris Saint-Germain v Le Havre

Paris Saint-Germain were dealt a rare defeat in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash with Aston Villa on Tuesday, though they still progressed 5-4 on aggregate after a pulsating game at Villa Park.

Domestically, though, PSG have yet to taste defeat, and Luis Enrique’s men will aim to take another step towards an historic unbeaten Ligue 1 season when they welcome Le Havre to the Parc des Princes.

Le Havre occupy the relegation play-off spot with five games to play. Didier Digard’s men are three points clear of second-bottom Saint-Etienne in the fight against an automatic drop into Ligue 2, while they are just two points behind 15th-placed Reims.

In short, the visitors have plenty of motivation to deny PSG a piece of history but, having lost the reverse fixture 4-1 at home, there is little to suggest they can pull off a massive upset.
