Action gets underway in round nine of Ligue 1 as Stade Rennais and Le Havre lock horns at the Roazhon Park on Friday. Didier Digard’s visitors went winless home and away in the fixture last season.
Twenty-five-year-old forward Jota came up clutch for Rennais, netting in the 86th minute in his team's 1-1 draw with Stade Brestois at the Stade Francis-Le Ble at the weekend.
Julien Stephan’s side are winless in four games, losing twice since a 3-0 victory over Montpellier in September. With eight points from as many matches, Rennes are 13th in the standings but could move into eighth with all three points.
Le Havre, meanwhile, were left empty handed yet again, as they suffered a 4-0 home thrashing against Olympique Lyon last time out. Digard’s men have lost their last five games, conceding 14 goals and scoring once since a 3-1 victory over 10-man Auxerre in September.
Trending
Le Havre have six points from their opening eight Ligue 1 games to sit 16th in the table, level on points with 15th-placed Toulouse.
Stade Rennais vs Le Havre Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Stade Rennais vs Le Havre Prediction
While Rennais have had a mixed bag of results to start the season, they will back themselves against an out-of-sorts Le Havre side who have lost their last five outings.
Stephan’s men have lost just once in their last eight games against the visitors, so they should extend their recent dominance in the fixture.
