Le Havre preview: Struggling hosts

Didier Digard remains in post at Le Havre but the hosts remain in a tough position in Ligue 1 but their struggles have continued this time around as they begin the match day sitting rock-bottom with just two points collected in their eight matches thus far.

The home team come into this one on the back of a thrilling 4-3 defeat to Olympique de Marseille at Stade Velodrome last weekend in a game in which they were 4-0 down after 55 minutes before scoring three late goals to suggest a dramatic fightback.

Paris Saint-Germain preview: Back at the top

After a tough start in the Ligue 1 campaign, Paris Saint-Germain have pushed themselves back to the top-of-the-table ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures with a 2-0 defeat of Olympique Lyonnais at Parc des Princes last week.

Goals scored by Senny Mayulu and Mika Godts for the Parisians in that one means that Luis Enrique’s side have now enjoyed an eight-match winning streak across all competitions since a four-match winless run of form at the start of the campaign.
