Grenoble Foot 38 form and stats

Let's have a look at how Grenoble Foot 38 performed last season in the Ligue 2: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 18 victories, 11 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 51 and conceded 35 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 5 and lost 8 with 16/21 goals scored/conceded.

Grenoble Foot 38 have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 183 minutes ago. W. Semedo was the goal scorer.

Grenoble might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Paris proved too strong as Grenoble Foot 38 slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade des Alpes. Goalkeeper Brice Maubleu got the top player rating of the team with 7.23/10. Maubleu stopped the opponent with eight saves. Grenoble lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Grenoble goalkeeper Brice Maubleu had a great day against Paris, but despite making eight saves the loss could not be avoided.

Prior to that match, the Grenoble manager M. Jacobacci faced defeat when travelling to Toulouse and losing 0-3.

Head 2 Head
