Grenoble Foot 38 form and stats

Home games in the Ligue 2 have been a walk in the park for Grenoble Foot 38 so far, with 29 points won from 11 matches; 9 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. Grenoble has recorded two wins in a row here at Stade des Alpes, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Grenoble Foot 38's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Monaco. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Valenciennes.

Esteban Salles had a busy but productive day in the Monaco match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Grenoble have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn five and lost two.

Goals decide football matches and Grenoble are scoring many of them at home; 24 on target from 11 league matches. From these home matches, Grenoble have conceded only 7 goals.

Amiens SC form and stats

The visitors are W4-D2-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 2. Amiens SC has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The attacking players of Amiens SC have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 232 minutes.

Amiens SC might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Metz proved too strong as Amiens SC slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne. A draw for Amiens before that, at their own venue hosting Caen (0-0).

Amiens were so close to getting something from the game against Metz, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Amiens playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Amiens SC wins, two draws and five defeats.

Amiens have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. Amiens have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Amiens SC - Grenoble 1-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last eight meetings): Grenoble won three games, one match ended with a draw and Amiens SC has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / three
