Grenoble
LDDLWL
After tasting defeat last time out to Paris FC in Ligue 2 action, Grenoble will be aiming to make amends here.
The only player to score from Grenoble was Matthรฉo Xantippe (67'). Samir Chergui (13') and Pierre-Yves Hamel (77') scored for Paris FC.
The stats tell the story, and Grenoble have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 8 goals in all. At the back, Grenoble certainly have room for improvement. Such a pattern wonโt necessarily be carried forward into this next game, of course.

Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that USL Dunkerque can and should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
At the other end, Grenoble may well find it hard to find the back of the net but do we see them being dangerous for periods.
Weโre therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning score for USL Dunkerque when the full-time whistle blows.
