The teams Rennes and Le Havre meet at Roazhon Park for the 18th match of Ligue 1. The last time these two clubs faced each other in this league edition ended in a 2-2 draw on October 5, 2025. Recent head-to-head meetings favor the home side, who have won three and drawn two of the last five encounters.

The home team currently sits in 6th place, having accumulated 30 points from 8 wins, 6 draws, and 3 defeats. In their penultimate match, they won at home against Brest 3-1. In the last match, they secured a 2-0 victory against LOSC Lille away. This team is not heavily influenced by home advantage, displaying similar results both at home and away, with their last 30 matches yielding 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses away (scoring 26 goals and conceding 28) compared to 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses at home (scoring 27 goals and conceding 16). In their most recent match, for the Coupe de France, they won 3-1 against US Chantilly away. Over their last 8 home league games, Rennes has recorded 5 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, collecting 17 points from a possible 24. The team has allowed goals from their opponents in 7 of the last 10 games, indicating a defensive inconsistency, but their attack has scored regularly, finding the net in 9 of the last 10 matches in the league. Matches at home typically trend towards high-scoring, with 6 out of 8 ending with over 2.5 goals. In 17 games this season, they have conceded the first goal in 6 instances but managed to overturn the scoreline in 2. The last 17 home matches in all competitions reveal two significant periods: they have scored 12 out of 29 goals between minutes 76-90 and conceded 7 out of 18 goals in the same time frame.

The Rennes side enters this matchup following a 3-1 victory at US Chantilly in the Coupe de France. In their last Ligue 1 match, they won against Lille 2-0. The team plays in a 3-5-2 tactical formation, with Breel Embolo and Esteban Lepaul as key offensive players. They tend to frequently exploit the right flank, where Przemysław Frankowski stands out due to his speed and technical skill, consistently threatening the opponent’s goal. Jérémy Jacquet is suspended and Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal is unavailable due to injury.

Le Havre Analysis

After 4 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses, the visiting team finds itself in 13th place with 18 points.

This visiting team typically employs a 4-4-2 formation, adopting a calm and controlled style, concentrating their offensive efforts through the central corridor.
