The visiting Grenoble Foot 38 side should be favourites in this visit to Châteauroux, as the away team holds a 10 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
- Châteauroux have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Grenoble Foot 38 haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
It's no vacation for neither Châteauroux nor Grenoble Foot 38 as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Châteauroux form and stats
2-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 2 numbers at home for Châteauroux so far this season.
Châteauroux manager N. Usaï and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Caen (placed 4th) in the Ligue 2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sochaux in a game that was won 2-1.
Amir Nouri was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Caen after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
The manager N. Usaï will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Dunkerque in only four days.
Châteauroux are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. On the other hand, Châteauroux have conceded 8 goals.
Grenoble Foot 38 form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 2 travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Grenoble Foot 38 goalkeeper Brice Maubleu is eager to challenge this, with his 270 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Grenoble's last game was the home draw against Paris (0-0). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Nancy.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Grenoble manager P. Hinschberger as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Caen.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Grenoble as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - five - zero (Châteauroux wins - draws - Grenoble Foot 38 wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
