Le Havre - Rennes predictions

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Le Havre are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

If everything goes according to plan and Rennes put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The hosts are coming off from an important away victory in the Ligue 1. Le Havre kept it all level at the halftime mark only to go full throttle in the second half for a resounding Montpellier triumph.

Rennes’s confidence must have taken a big hit last round. A drawn-out first half against Auxerre culminated in them losing a home game 0:1, despite being tagged as favourites before kick-off.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Le Havre have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Looking over the stats for the away team, it seems they consistently display a remarkable ability to perform under pressure. They boast 5 goals on record in their latest 3 away games alone and there is no doubt they will be looking to get their name on the score board this time around as well.

Le Havre have just 4 points between them and the relegation zone. We’re well into the season by now, but there’s still time for the standings to change. At this point, Le Havre’s only goal is to stay ahead of the lower-placed teams, which will be a challenge by itself.

Le Havre supporters are hoping that the team will manage to beat the odds, but their chances aren’t great if the previous game is any indication. Rennes secured a solid home win against them earlier in the season, and all signs are pointing to a similar outcome this time around.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.99 at Pncl.
