Rennes have picked up just eight points from eight Ligue 1 rounds. Even a difficult calendar does not justify such a poor result. Another failure in the upcoming matches could lead to a coaching resignation at the club. But the Red-Blacks have a great chance to climb into the top-8. Before the break for the national team matches, the club will play with three outsiders of the championship.
Le Havre ranks last in Ligue 1 in terms of possession percentage, so in each of their few attacks the team tries to treasure the ball. The club is second only to Brest and Nantes in the championship in terms of the lowest number of losses. In addition, they are among the leaders of Ligue 1 in the number of interceptions, thanks to which there are opportunities to escape on the counterattack.
In five of the eight league games involving Le Havre there were at least three goals. At the same time, six of Rennes’ eight games in Ligue 1 have seen at least three goals scored. In addition, in four of the last six head-to-head matches, the teams have scored at least three times.
