Valenciennes will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Grenoble Foot 38 with a 3-3 draw and a valuable point.  They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Grenoble Foot 38's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.  

Having scored 5 goals and conceded 8 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and this season they have failed to score in 6 of their 11 games.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.

Caen will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Auxerre, not least because of the valuable point gained.  In that game they had 38% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Auxerre who had 17 attempts and 6 on target.  

They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 12 times in that period.  They've scored in 10 of their 11 games this season.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.  

The Caen travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Alexandre Mendy, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
