Grenoble Foot 38 form and stats

It's not happening yet for Grenoble Foot 38 on their Ligue 2 travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on M. Jacobacci, the Grenoble Foot 38 manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Grenoble are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Ligue 2 against Nimes (placed 7th). Midfielder Mamadou Diallo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.04. Diallo scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager M. Jacobacci when David Henen scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute. Late drama in the previous game, when David Henen scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Nimes.

A 0-1 defeat away at Sochaux before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Nancy in just three days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Grenoble's away games in the league this season with only 0 goals from 3 matches. In the opposite end, Grenoble have conceded 5 goals in their away games.
