Grenoble Foot 38 vs. Caen Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Grenoble Foot 38 and Caen, taking place on Monday, 16 September 2024, at Stade des Alpes in Grenoble.
Grenoble Foot 38, Recent Form
A point gained from their 1-1 draw against Pau FC in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Grenoble Foot 38.
Oswald Tanchot will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Stade des Alpes.
It's been a mixed run of form at Stade des Alpes for Grenoble recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Jessy Benet will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Grenoble Foot 38.
Caen, Recent Form
Grabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Annecy will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Caen.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Alexandre Mendy will be hoping to create problems for Grenoble Foot 38 in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Caen.
Grenoble Foot 38 vs. Caen Head to head
After a good 5-1 win for Grenoble Foot 38 in this pair's last league encounter, Caen will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The stats show that in the last 4 meetings between Malherbe and their rivals, Grenoble, the former have conceded at least one goal.
In the league, Grenoble has a good track record when they host Caen, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
