Grenoble Foot 38 form and stats

Grenoble Foot 38 have collected 7 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 2-1-1. Grenoble has recorded two wins in a row here at Stade des Alpes, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

No payout for Grenoble in their previous match, an away game at Toulouse that ended in defeat 1-4. Grenoble's goalkeeper Brice Maubleu was extremely busy against Toulouse, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. The striker Achille Anani was announced as "man of the match" for Grenoble Foot 38 with the rating of 7.13/10. Anani scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Before that, Grenoble had a home game versus Nîmes which ended with a victory 2-1.

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 18 games) they have won ten times, drawn six and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Grenoble Foot 38 as they are travelling to their away game against Rodez in the Ligue 2. That match is three days after this one.

Grenoble Foot 38 are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Grenoble have conceded 5 in these home matches.
