Prediction: 2-0
Le Havre
Following a 1-1 draw with Lens, Rennes will look to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they take on Le Havre on Matchday 3. Les Rouges et Noirs rolled over Metz 5-1 in their first home game of the season, which is surely giving fans for optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The newcomers, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Brest and given their difficulties at the back, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. This will be the first meeting between the two sides in the Ligue 1 since February 2009. Le Havre boss Luka Elsner should have a full squad to choose from as well, but that is unlikely to help the underdogs grab something from the match.
