Grenoble

DWDWLL ⚖

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Clermont Foot in Ligue 2 competition, Grenoble will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Grenoble managed 49% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Grenoble was Willy Semedo (91'). At the other end, Clermont Foot had 11 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Jim Allevinah (19') and Mohamed Bayo (45') scored for Clermont Foot.

Grenoble have been effective going forward in their most recent fixtures, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that GF 38 can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same matches. We will have to see whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.

Coming into this clash, Grenoble are without an away win for the past 3 matches in the league.
