Grenoble Foot 38
- Grenoble have failed to win any of their last five matches (D3, L2) but have avoided defeat in their last two at home (D2).
- Frédéric Gueguen was promoted to interim manager and has instilled a more pragmatic approach to the team.
Le Mans
- Patrick Videira’s men have won four and drawn one of their last five fixtures and are in much better form than their hosts who have failed to win in their last five, drawing three and losing two.
- Le Mans are third in Ligue 2 on 57 points from 31 games, while GF38 are 13th on 32 after 31.
Head-to-Head
Le Mans won the reverse fixture 1-0 in Ligue 2 six months ago.
Key Players
- Antoine Rabillard has been in sensational form for the visitors, scoring five of their last 13 goals in just five games, while Yadaly Diaby leads Grenoble’s attack with eight goals in 30 Ligue 2 appearances.
- Jessy Benet has chipped in with two goals in Grenoble’s last five and could give the home team a spark on Saturday.
Betting Insights
There will be chances at both ends and the odds on over 2.5 goals look good value, but both teams to score at 1.73 is the main selection for this Ligue 2 clash.
Prediction
But with Le Mans in much the better form and having won the head-to-head six months ago, we are taking them to take all three points in this one.
