Fixture Analysis
Le Havre welcome Rennes to Stade Océane in Ligue 1 (matchday 21). Kick-off is Sunday 11 February 2024 at 12:00 UK time.
Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, Le Havre have gone 3W 4D 3L — a 1.30 PPG return. Last five: W L W D D. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Le Havre at home: 5W 2D 3L from their last 10 home games — 1.70 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.
Rennes — last 10 games: 5W 1D 4L — 1.60 PPG. Last five: D W W W W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).
When travelling, Rennes have posted 3W 4D 3L from their last 10 away outings — 1.30 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Le Havre 1.30 PPG, Rennes 1.60 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 1 H2H match, Le Havre have won 0, Rennes 0, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 1 H2H match in our data have been high-scoring — 4.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 27 Aug 2023, ended Le Havre 2–2 Rennes — a draw.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 4.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
In-Play Data
Le Havre trading profile (last 58 games, 28 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 54% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; of the 16 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 13 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 36% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time; they fail to score in 33% of games.
Rennes trading profile (last 58 games, 28 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; of the 14 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 36%; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Le Havre 41% versus Rennes 59%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Le Havre 34% | Rennes 60%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Le Havre surrender their half-time lead 25% of the time, while Rennes have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 36% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Le Havre 1.36 xG and Rennes 1.21 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Le Havre attack 0.997 / defence 1.039 | Rennes attack 1.069 / defence 0.984. League average goals — home 1.385 / away 1.088. Data: built from Le Havre's last 20 games and Rennes's last 58.
Result probabilities: Le Havre 37% | Draw 32% | Rennes 30%. Fair-value odds: Le Havre 2.67 | Draw 3.12 | Rennes 3.28. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 55% | Total xG 2.57. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.57 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 55% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Le Havre as the most likely outcome at 37% — marginal model lean. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Le Havre offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.57 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 53% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Le Havre's last 10 home games and Rennes's last 10 away games) averaging 2.2 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 55%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Le Havre 40% (last 10 home games) | Rennes 50% (last 10 away games).

📈 Form Insight
Form at a Glance
Le Havre come into this having played 58 games, going 25W 24D 9L for 1.71 points per game. Their last five reads W-L-W-D-D.
On the other side, Rennes sit at 1.66 PPG from 58 outings (28W 12D 18L), a run that reads D-W-W-W-W across their last five.
Form-wise this is close to level: Le Havre on 1.71 PPG, Rennes on 1.66. Other factors will likely decide this one more than recent results.
Venue Form
Le Havre's home form reads 15W 9D 4L across their last 28 home games, a 1.93 PPG return.
Away from home, Rennes have taken 1.18 points per game from their last 28 away games (8W 9D 11L). That's a step down from their 1.66 PPG overall record — away form has been the weaker part of Rennes's recent record.
Comparing the two in their relevant venue splits, Le Havre come out ahead — a more targeted read than the overall PPG figures above, since it strips out games played in the opposite context.

Defensively: Le Havre have kept a clean sheet in 47% of their games — worth knowing if you're weighing up clean-sheet or BTTS-No markets.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Rennes beat Le Havre 0-1 at Stade Océane, Regular Season - 21, in the Ligue 1. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Le Havre 1.36 xG and Rennes 1.21 xG, a combined 2.57. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Le Havre fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Le Havre attack 1.00 / defence 1.04 against Rennes attack 1.07 / defence 0.98, drawn from 20/58 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Le Havre 37% | Draw 32% | Rennes 30%, with Le Havre to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual Rennes win had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 75% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Le Havre 34%, Rennes 60%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Le Havre's trading profile (58 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Rennes's trading profile (58 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Le Havre 1.71 PPG, Rennes 1.66 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Rennes win broke the near-deadlock. Le Havre (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.25 scoring average — below par going forward. Rennes (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.25 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
