Le Havre v Paris Saint-Germain: leaders' charge meets hosts' push for breathing space | OneFootball

Le Havre host Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 at the Stade Océane on 28 February 2026, with the visitors aiming to strengthen top spot and the hosts seeking valuable points to move further from the relegation picture.

Paris Saint-Germain are unbeaten in the last seven meetings with Le Havre, winning six, including a 3-0 league victory in November 2025. That record frames a tough task for the home side against the division's pacesetters.

Recent form points the same way. Le Havre have taken two home wins in February but lost at Nantes last time out. Paris Saint-Germain have won four of their past five league games, including 5-0 against Marseille and 3-0 versus Metz, despite a defeat at Rennes in between.

Team news could matter. Le Havre list Loic Nego, Abdoulaye Toure and Ayumu Seko as injured, while defender Arouna Sangante is suspended. Paris Saint-Germain are without Ousmane Dembélé and Quentin Ndjantou through injury. In attack, Bradley Barcola has eight league goals, while Issa Soumaré leads Le Havre with six.

The match-up may hinge on control versus resilience. Paris Saint-Germain average 2.3 goals per game, with 68% possession, 91.43% passing accuracy and 12 clean sheets this season. Their wide supply has produced eight headed goals, with Vitinha on seven league assists. Le Havre score 0.9 per game and have yet to register from a set piece, so transitions and compact defending could be their route.

In the table, Paris Saint-Germain sit first on 54 points. A win would take them to 57 and could tighten their grip on the lead. Le Havre are 13th on 26 points. Victory would move them to 29 and could lift them further towards mid-table safety.
