Grenoble Foot 38, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Grenoble Foot 38 and Guingamp in their last match, which ended in a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with 58% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Guingamp managed 13 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
Manager Vincent Hognon will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, so far this season they have recorded 7 clean sheets from 10 games overall.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 10 games in a row.
Valenciennes, Recent FormIt's fair to say Valenciennes will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Troyes, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. In that game they recorded 56 % of the possession, with 21 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 4 shots on goal.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Jorge Maciel where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 5 in the same period. They have been unable to score away from home in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of those games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Grenoble Foot 38 who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Valenciennes.
During the last 3 times these two teams have met in the league at Stade des Alpes, Les Athéniens have been unable to break through the Grenoble defence and find the back of the net. In each of their last 5 away matches in the league at Stade des Alpes, Les Athéniens have let in at least 1 goal. In their past 5 meetings, GF38's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so VAFC will have to take their chances when they come.
In the league, Grenoble has a good track record when they host VAFC, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
With no real injury worries, Grenoble manager Vincent Hognon will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
VAFC manager Jorge Maciel has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
