what happened to PSG? is this a surprise?
in H2H history they have never been able to break through PSG defense but in yesterday's match PSG only used second tier players and made it easier for Le Havre to score early and I was worried that in the first half they were behind by 2 scores while PSG were only able to get 1 score.
fortunately, Goncalo Ramos managed to provide 1 additional score to be able to hold the match to a draw so as not to lose points.
and perhaps this was the strategy that Enrique had planned to use Mbappe in the second half to maintain his physical quality so that he was well maintained to compete in the UCL.
so we must always be careful when betting on every PSG match before finishing the UCL match. It seems that PSG results in League 1 are difficult to predict.

Since the arrival of investors to take over PSG's shares a few years ago, PSG has turned drastically into a giant that is able to dominate Ligue 1 so far without any competition from other teams that are able to collapse PSG at this time, the financial strength possessed by PSG at this time certainly makes other teams only able to compete for second place because the trophy is only a dream for rival teams in Ligue 1,  even if there is another team that surprises by being able to win Ligue 1 of course we must to wait even almost 10 seasons like what happened by Lille last 2021 season, for now I think there will be no other team that might be the strongest opponent in Ligue if there is no team that can match PSG finances at this time.

After PSG dominated Ligue 1, of course, made Ligue 1 a farmers' league because Ligue 1 was only dominated by one top team without any competition from other teams, so indeed among the top 5 European leagues at this time it was Ligue that did not have prestige compared to other leagues, for now the fierce competition in the league certainly tested the team's mentality and we will never see this at PSG,  Because their mentality has never been tested in the league so when PSG play outside Ligue 1 (champions league) of course PSG have a bad mentality.

The French laugh has turned out to be the worse farmers league ever, so predictable, only PSG topping the league every season with no challenge at all from other teams, and worse of all is when PSG  faves off against other top teams form other league you find out that they are not close to been the best out there.

Just imagine what the future of PSG would be without mbapee, a mess cause I hardly see what they woudl play when all the stars are off from the club, although they are rich enough to buy new players for themselves.

Montpellier and Nantes had quite a difficult match even though they were fellow mid-table clubs but in fact they almost had equal performance and they also tried to put pressure on each other so there was no favorite between the two of them they got a draw at least a fair result for both and the same So far, Montpellier has collected 37 points and is in 12th place, while Nantes has collected 32 points and is in 14th place. For Montpellier, perhaps their current position is quite safe from the relegation zone, but for Nantes they still have to win a few more to ensure he continues to appear in League 1 next season.

Le Havre achieved a draw when playing against PSG today, even though he only got 1 point, at least he was able to score 3 goals and the same as what PSG did, I think Le Havre's performance in this away match was quite good against top club like PSG even though Le Havre themselves had less control of the ball and PSG had more dominant control so what Le Havre achieved today is already a good result, and now we just have to watch Metz against Lille. If Metz wins then they can get closer to Nantes who are ranked 14th but what is clear is the chance Lille is bigger than Metz who plays at home.

PSG 3 - 3 Le Havre AC

I confess that I expected PSG to win this game very easily even if they didn't put their best players in this game since PSG needs to save their best players for the European Champions League game, but I was shocked when I saw that Le Havre AC scored the first goal, then PSG scored the equalizer, but again Le Havre AC scored the second goal and then PSG scored the second goal and the game was tied again, I was wondering what was happening, because Looking at Le Havre AC's performance in the last 5 games, I didn't see them winning any games



and in Le Havre AC's last 12 games they scored at most 1 goal in each game, they are not a team that could score many goals, but in that game against PSG they had already scored 2 goals and the game hadn't even finished yet, so I thought what the hell was going on, because Le Havre AC played against weak teams and it was still difficult for them to score and the most they could manage was 1 goal, so even if PSG were playing with the worst players, it was still very It's strange that they concede a lot of goals against Le Havre AC and I was more shocked when Le Havre AC scored a third goal. Fortunately, PSG managed to score the third goal as well and the game ended in a draw. If PSG wins in the next game, they will be champions, but if Monaco also loses in the game against Lyon, then PSG will be champions.

This  game feels like PSG half-hearted to beat Le Havre remembering Le Havre need points to fight relegation. The players also didn't play with their full determination, because they need to avoid injuries for preparation to play against Dortmund in the Champions League semi-final game. Enrique still subbed on the regular starters to ensure them the match fitness for the important game.

After securing the league title, the remaining games are good times for Enrique to give young talents some gametimes for their development. Their focus right now is the Champions League games, and it wouldn't be a surprise if PSG lost their game in the league. Playing in meaningless games without fighting spirit is common. However, Enrique needs to make sure that their players not losing the rhythm of their game.

I agree with you. The top three positions will not be replaced until the end of the season. PSG, Monaco and Brest will appear in the Champions League next season. Many doubt Brest because they still have to compete with Lille for third place. But as you said, if you look at the remaining matches between the two teams I think Brest has a better chance. With a 1 point advantage over Lille they will maintain their chances of qualifying for the UCL. One defeat will make Brest fail to play in the Champions League. But I'm not sure Brest will slip up by losing to a weak team like Rennes or Nantes. Lille also have tough games against Lyon and Nice so I think it is unlikely the current ranking will change at the end of the season.

i didn't expect Le Havre to be able to make PSG almost lose, what an unexpected goal was scored by Ramos in the 95th minute.  Enrique played Mbappe in the 46th minute replacing Dembele but the pattern of play did not change significantly, I am curious if rumors about Mbappe's move to Madrid materialize whether PSG will still be like now, PSG is still dependent on Mbappe.

Montpellier vs Nantes also ended in a draw, their position in the standings has not changed.

today LOSC will face metz, this is an important song for LOSC, if they win then they can move up to 3rd place shifting brest.

Paris Saint-Germain will always be eligible and they're all in for the team, they can be straightforward for good results. Luis Enrique wouldn't fold his hands and watch his side loses three important points to an average side today, he ensure his players fought with the last possible strength to equipped the team's performance. Goncalo Ramos is the key player and have developed important skills to comprehend his position in the frontline. He's always looking for means to proved himself worthy of handling the top positions.

PSG actually did tried their best but then their opponent actually seem like they were lucky tonight and are able to equalize such margin before the end of the game which actually wasn't a bad game, i think PSG is actually preparing for the Champions league so that's where their priority seem to be the most and so they are putting almost every of their efforts and preparations in that direction.

Statistically PSG had a much better performance from that which their opponent had and PSG had home advantage, considering the team they were actually playing against, i think it's just in the fact that they placed priority in the champions league much more than they do in their domestic league at this time because they know their way around the Ligue 1 and definitely know what to do at almost everytime so they will be able to win the league if need be at the time of the league so i still believe and PSG not been able to win the game tonight and ending up sharing point looks intentional.

After their champions league fixtures, if they still get to perform same way then i could say they are actually experiencing some kind of poor performance but i think it wouldn't be too bad that they will loose their chances of winning the league title this season because of their form so they will definitely get to balance it at some point it's just to give them some time a d before the end of the season they will be back again.

Goncalo Ramos saved PSG from losing points this week and that's a little better in my opinion because at least PSG still has a face even though in this match they got 1 point.

PSG knew that the match against Dortmund was a difficult situation and indeed deciding to rest some players so as not to be too stressed and give space to the reserve players was a good thing that PSG did, it's just that they did not expect that Le Harve would play well in today's match.

Le Harve did not get much possession but they were very clever in utilizing the momentum of the counterattack well and 3 goals ahead against PSG was a very good thing they showed in today's match.

It makes sense.
Yes, it's just a matter of how we will see Mbappe lead PSG to UCL later. And how will his contribution be in the next match against other big clubs in the UCL. because, however, as hungry as someone who is full of ambition is, sometimes he has to be willing to bury that dream because the situation is truly unsupportive, because after all, football is a team. And sometimes, not the entire squad will really always be ready for the big match, or fight as optimally as possible.

And as we saw this time, in several matches, Mbappe has not contributed a goal to victory. Even this time in the French league against Le Havre, PSG had to recognize their opposing club very well. Yes, the final draw between PSG and Le Havre with a score of 3 - 3 was quite surprising. Because PSG is far more dominant. However, they were less able to optimize their attacks with more accuracy and pressure. Yes, in the end they can finally share points for this.

PSG dominance continue as they are already preparing to lift the trophy yet again this season, truth be told they have got no team that's ready to compete with them as they keep winning the ligue1 back to back every season but hopefully they will get a challenger soon because a lot of fans will start seeing the league to be boring knowing the team that will be crowned champions even before the beginning of the season. The teams you mentioned will keep fighting for who will occupy that 3rd position because they are almost in the same points and since they have few games left to play in the league, at the end of the day the team wirh the highest point will be at rhe 3rd play while the other team will come down to 4th position but the good thing is the possibility of them to qualify to the champions league next season.

PSG match against Le Havre ended in a 3-3 draw, where Goncalo Ramos managed to equalize in the 90+5 minute, while saving PSG from defeat. The draw was quite disappointing, Enrique fleet should have been able to win easily against this mediocre club, and make the bettors win their bets. However, no one can predict the final result with certainty, and what is clear is that PSG deserves to end all future matches with a win.

For Le Havre, the draw has saved them from the degradation zone, but if Metz gets full points against Lille, Le Havre will automatically enter the red zone. Meanwhile, PSG, even though we know that Enrique prioritizes the Champions League, they should be able to balance their performance in Ligue 1. There are 3 matches left, and I don't think PSG will disappoint their fans again in the future.

Next, PSG will face Dortmund, statistically Enrique fleet is slightly more favored to win the match, although we know Dortmund will act as hosts. PSG has a big chance of advancing to the final, where Dortmund is currently in an unstable condition, because they lost again in the Bundesliga. I think PSG will face Madrid in the Champions League Final this season.

Even with these beautiful records and achievements this season, they are breaking people's heart tonight and destroying the bet of gamblers. Of all days, it is today PSG have decided to lose at home to a small team that was just promoted seasons ago in the apex division and who are already close to returning to where they came from. Eighty-four minutes of play and the match is still standing at two goals to three against PSG, a result that will see many gamblers lose fortune. The only people that will escape loss tonight are those who played goals which was actually a more feasible option if not that a win appeared more conservative. Going forward, it is dangerous to play PSG because people may not know what option that will not make them lose their money.

Although Nantes is in a lower position compared to Montpellier in the current Ligue 1 standings but still, that even though Nantes played away, but Nantes really managed to play very well in this match. Because anyway, in the second half Nantes really dominated the match but unfortunately, Nantes still failed to score in the second half. But even so, Nantes can really put very heavy pressure on Montpellier in the second half until in the injury time minute two Montpellier players get a red card. At least, Montpellier is still quite lucky because the two red cards occurred in the injury time because after all, if for example the two red cards were obtained in the middle of the match then most likely Montpellier would lose.

One step at a time, Today's game is PSG's 31st matches so far this season, leaving them with 3 games left until the end of the season, and currently Paris St. German is topping their league with 11 points ahead of Monaco, Therefore, PSG losing of this game will give Monaco a chance to still be on the race of lifting the French Lique 1 trophy if at all Monaco wins their match because that would now reduce the points to 8 points, whereas at the moment they will have 9 points left to context until the end of the season, So I don't see PSG jeopardizing with this game today because of the Champions League game with Borussia Dortmund, especially when this game is taking place in their home soil, winning this match is super important because winning this game today has guaranteed them of the trophy.

It seems it is only Kylan Mbappe that is not playing tonight, at least among the key players. I checked the lineup and I noticed Dembele is there as well as Hakimi. Without two players, they are actually playing their first team of which they ought to deliver.


I agree with you on this because at the level of PSG, every win is important to them if not for anything, for the records. The coach also need the wins for his career, even the players. They will play the match competitively and with the squad I'm seeing, they will win the match easily.

I don't see any reason to see Paris Saint Germain losing this match. Even though they did not field their main players, they still have better quality than the main squad that Le Havre has. It would be very disappointing if they had to lose to a club that is in the relegation zone with their consecutive defeats.

Are they just going to let Le Havre embarrass them at home? I don't see that as making sense. Paris Saint Germain is already about to win the Ligue 1 title, and they will focus on the Champions League. However, they need to bring good capital before they play the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund.

It is true that they will also be favorites in the Champions League semifinals, but that cannot make them simply underestimate their opponents. Because Borussia Dortmund itself is a big club in the Bundesliga. they are very likely to beat Paris Saint Germain.

I just played this match 4+ goals and hoping to win the bet following PSG recent goal scoring spree. For their last three matches they have scored four goals in each other those matches so tonight will not be different because Le Havre is not a side to stop them from scoring. Besides, they are at a critical point in the league and defending is the last thing they will do because they need to win the match to escape relegation. They will come out to score and that is how they will be scored mercilessly. This is my prediction and the reason I am betting the match on goals, ignoring direct win which would have given me an odd of 1.37.

PSG is playing more for practice now than for the title because even if they do not win any match for now, they will still lift the trophy. PSG have no business reserving players because what they play now will determine how they play the champions league.
