PSG look set to bag their 12th Ligue 1 title when they welcome le Havre in their next league match on Saturday. With 69 points after 30 matches, PSG need just a draw to secure the title while Le Havre are a point below the safety zone. PSG have lost just once in Ligue 1 this season and will be gunning for their 21st win in the league. Against Lorient in their last game, PSG’s 4-1 victory was their third straight win. They earlier beat Lyon and Barcelona by the same margins. While they are clearly the stronger side here, PSG’s main worry will be in how they struggle to keep clean sheets. They actually conceded first in three of their last five matches and carry just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches. The 2-0 win over Le Havre in the reverse fixture in December was the first meeting between the two in Ligue 1 since 2009. Should PSG replicate that result, it will be their first clean sheet in 10 Ligue 1 matches at home.

Le Havre’s return to Ligue 1 doesn’t seem to be headed to the desired future. They are hanging on precariously, just two points above the automatic relegation place. With 28 points, they are one behind Metz, who beat them 1-0 in their last outing. Another loss here could see them drop into the red zone. It is tough for the visitors but they have to fight against the team with the best defence and attack in the league. Le Havre, coming from five straight winless matches, are going for just their seventh win of the season. In 13 matches across all competitions, they have just one win. That was against Toulouse in March, which stands as only their second clean sheet in 15 matches across all competitions. They also beat Toulouse in November, in what remains to be their only away win in the league this season.
