Stade Rennais vs Le Havre Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Rennes will host Le Havre over the weekend in their ninth Ligue 1 game of the season.

Stade Rennais have avoided defeat in three out of their four home games this season and will look to capitalize on their home advantage. However, they have not had a great outing in the league so far and are placed 13th on the table with two wins and draws each, and four defeats in the first eight games.

Le Havre on the other hand are dealing with an even worse situation. They have lost five games on the trot and have entered the relegation zone. They are placed 16th on the standings with just two wins and six defeats in their first eight games. The Dean Club have not scored a single goal in their last three games and there seems to be no full stop to their troubles.

Players to watch 

Arnaud Kalimuendo (Stade Rennais)

The PSG graduate has made a name for himself at Rennes and has become one of their go-to players. Kalimuendo has scored three goals in the French top tier and has been a constant attacking threat for the opposition. He is a keen dribbler and always has an eye for goal. His pace coupled with his trickery makes him the main man for Rennes.

Abdoulaye Touré (Le Havre AC)

The midfielder has been one of the top-performing players for Le Havre this season. He has scored two goals, the highest for the Sky and Navy this season. He is known for his game-reading and controlling abilities. Toure controls the tempo of the game and has an excellent vision. Moreover, he is a versatile midfielder and can play across different positions.
