Stade Rennais have generally been consistent both at home and away, which allows them to sit sixth in the standings. Le Havre AC, however, have serious problems on their travels. Can the hosts win?
Stade Rennais
Stade Rennais are practically unbeatable at Roazhon Park. The only exception was a defeat against OGC Nice (1:2), which now looks particularly surprising given their current results. In the new year, Habib Beye's side have played only away from home and have won both matches by a two-goal margin: 2:0 at Lille in the league and 3:1 at Chantilly in the cup. It is notable that in both cases the opponents finished the match with ten men.
Le Havre AC
Le Havre AC are relatively solid at Stade Océane (13 points, conceding an average of 1.0 goal per match), but extremely weak away from home (only five points, goal difference -10). Even these figures are not enough to lift them above 13th place. The most notable success for the side can be considered their home win over the current 11th-placed Stade Brestois 29 (1:0), but that came back on 29 October. And what about the win over Angers already in the new year? That is a potential rival in the relegation battle, and that match was also at home.
Stade Rennais vs Le Havre AC Prediction
Such a scenario is unlikely to be repeated against Stade Rennais. The hosts have scored almost twice as many goals as Le Havre AC (29 versus 15). We are confident that they will win.
