Grenoble Foot 38 form and stats

Grenoble Foot 38 have played 17 Ligue 2 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 9-4-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Correa was the last player to score a league goal for Grenoble Foot 38 and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Grenoble haven't scored in 180 minutes.

No payout for Grenoble Foot 38 in their previous match, an away game at Metz that ended in defeat 0-1. Midfielder Benet was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.14 (out of ten) in that game. Benet dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 29 successful passes (of 33 total).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Paris.

This is expected to be a close game, with Grenoble Foot 38 perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Grenoble Foot 38 as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Grenoble Foot 38 has won 8 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.

It should be considered that a peek at the 11 most recent league games reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).

The Grenoble fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 17 matches. From these home matches, Grenoble Foot 38 have conceded only 13 goals.
