Ligue 2: Top-notch vs below average, at least that's what the table says. Grenoble Foot 38 - Pau. Home victory or a surprise result?

Insights:
  • Pau have won significantly less corners away then at home.

There have been limited time to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a Coupe de France match only three days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Vierzon FC.
