Grenoble Foot 38 form and stats
This stadium, Stade des Alpes, has been a fortress for Grenoble Foot 38 in the Ligue 2 so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-2-0.
The fans are hoping that Grenoble Foot 38 will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Ligue 2 game against Ajaccio (placed 11th). Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Chambly.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Grenoble have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won nine times, drawn four and lost four.
The manager P. Hinschberger will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Valenciennes in only three days.
The Grenoble manager P. Hinschberger has got the team scoring with 22 from 10 home games in the league. From these home matches, Grenoble have conceded only 6 goals.
Guingamp form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Guingamp so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-4 (win-draw-lose).
Guingamp might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Pau proved too strong as Guingamp slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade du Roudourou. Before that, Guingamp travelled to Le Havre and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
We have checked recent matches where Guingamp have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were two victories, six draws and four defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Dunkerque in just three days.
Guingamp have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 12 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Guingamp have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
