Grenoble are hoping to win again following a 0-1 Ligue 2 triumph vs Annecy FC.

In that match, Grenoble managed 45% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Grenoble was Jessy Benet (66'). Annecy got 13 shots on goal with 4 of them on target.

Grenoble have really struggled up front in more recent games. Their sum of goals equals just 3 versus opposition teams during the course of their last six outings. In those games, Grenoble have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 7. Even so, we will just have to wait and see if the trend will be maintained in this upcoming match.

Leading up to this clash, Grenoble:

• are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 4 matches in the league. Things will have to change soon.

St Etienne

St Etienne will come into the meeting following a 2-1 Ligue 2 win with the eclipse of Girondins de Bordeaux in their last fixture.

In that match, St Etienne had 43% possession and 24 shots at goal with 7 on target. The scorer for St Etienne was Irvin Cardona (90', 90'). At the other end, Bordeaux had 14 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Pedro Díaz (42') scored for Girondins de Bordeaux.

A tendency of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring St Etienne has become evident of late. Examining their last 6 meetings reveals that this has occurred 5 times. In those clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal total of 3 and St Etienne have scored 10.

Ahead of this meeting, St Etienne remain undefeated by Grenoble in games played away from home for the previous 2 league matches.
