Dunkerque
- Dunkerque and Grenoble Foot 38 will face off for the first time since Ligue 2 2025/2026 at Stade Marcel-Tribut on Saturday, in what should be a good contest between two teams who are looking to start the new season in 2026/2027 well.
- Albert Sánchez's men are the more attacking of the two teams, and they should be able to make the running on their home field as they play an aggressive possession-based game on the front foot, with a high line and an intense press.
