- Competition: France - Ligue 1
- Date: Sunday, 13th, April 2025
- Kickoff: 16:15 UK / 17:15 CEST
- Venue: Stade Océane (Le Havre)
In a bid to stay clear of the relegation zone, Le Havre will host fellow strugglers Rennes at Stade Oceane on Sunday in matchday 29 of French Ligue 1.
Le Havre’s push for safety gained momentum as they cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win on the road against relegation-doomed Montpellier last week, and that much-needed victory lifted them out of the bottom three by just a single point.
Rennes have kept themselves in the thick of the relegation fight after a gut-wrenching late collapse to Auxerre on home turf at Riazor, which leaves them holding on to a fragile six-point advantage over Reims occupying the relegation playoff spot.
Le Havre vs Rennes Betting Tips : 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)
It's tough to call this clash between two sides still battling for survival, but it feels like Le Havre have enough left in the tank to snatch some precious points and keep their heads above water. There's no doubt that the Dean Club has picked the perfect moment to hit top gear, as they're definitely enjoying their best form of the season, having put up a commendable 10 points from 15 on offer in their past five top-flight outings. The late-season revival in form, however, owes much to a newfound attacking verve, as Le Havre have managed to hammer two or multiples in four of their last five matches in the top division, so they will almost certainly rely on a well-refined forward line in their quest to make it three straight wins. Next up for them is Rennes, a team caught in a turbulent run of results, having lost three of their last four matches, which has pulled them down into the lower half, only six points clear of the relegation zone, so we think an inspired and driven Le Havre can capitalize on Rennes' struggles and earn a result that will help them gain some much-needed space from the relegation battle.

Le Havre team news
Le Havre do not have many players on the sidelines to report as Elysee Logbo is the only one who will miss Sunday's clash against Rennes with a shoulder problem.
After overseeing his team’s 2-0 victory over Montpellier last week, manager Didier Digard is likely to keep the same lineup for the next match.

Rennes team news
Rennes will head to Le Havre without the services of Alidu Seidu, Carlos Andres Gomez, and the influential winger Ludovic Blas, as all three are sidelined with injuries.
Despite a late collapse against Auxerre last week, coach Habib Beye is likely to stick with his usual starting XI for the Sunday match.
