Le Havre AC vs Stade Rennes FC Best odds and tips

Le Havre AC are 15th in Ligue 1 with 27 points from 28 matches and Stade Rennes FC are 12th with 32 points from 28 matches as we approach the mid-point of the 2024-2025 season. The two clubs are very similar in terms of their objectives, but the visitors have the better form and have won the last head-to-head between these two clubs. Rennes are favourites for this one at 2.30 and the visitors should have enough to edge this one and climb the table.

Both clubs have adopted the 4-2-3-1 formation this season, which allows them to be either possession dominant or sit back and counter attack depending on the game plan. Habib Beye has favoured the former at Rennes, where they have a strong midfield to control the game, while Didier Digard has a more pragmatic style at Le Havre, where he has been in charge since July 2024. Rennes have won three and lost nine of their 13 away matches this season, but their 0-3 victory at Angers suggests they can get a result on the road when they need to. Rennes have a comparative defensive record, conceding 22 goals in 13 away matches, compared to Le Havre’s 2.29 goals per game at home.

Le Havre have had a difficult season and it is hard to see them getting the win on Sunday, although their 2-0 win away at Montpellier suggests they could cause an upset. Rennes are the more likely winners and they have the better overall form, so they are the pick to win this one and move up the table. Abdoulaye Toure has been in good form for Le Havre with eight goals in 22 Ligue 1 matches, while Rennes have a real goal threat in Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga, who has scored 13 times this season.
