Head-to-head statistics Grenoble - Metz
Grenoble Team Overview
Grenoble finished last season 12th, and only secured their place at the end of April - with a win in Dunkerque (1:0), their first since January. Two managers came and went during the season: Franck Risetto was sacked in March, and the team saw out the rest of the campaign with a caretaker in charge. In the summer, the club brought in Olivier Frappoli - he spent seven years at Laval, won promotion from the National in 2022, and before that twice took Orléans up to Ligue 2. His first match did not go well: Dunkerque again, and a defeat (2:4). At home, though, Grenoble have barely lost - in 13 of their last 14 Ligue 2 matches.

Metz Team Overview
In Ligue 1, Metz finished bottom, suffering the club's 12th relegation in their history. It was sealed by a home defeat to Monaco (1:2). Benoît Tavenot left after that, and in June the team was taken over by Luc Holtz: he spent 15 years in charge of the Luxembourg national team, and before Metz he worked in the third tier of Germany. In the summer, the club signed Teji Savanier, and the midfielder could make his first appearance for Metz in Grenoble. Holtz's debut went well - Metz beat Guingamp at home (2:1).

Editor's Pick
The home side's run supports a goal from them: Grenoble have scored in eight consecutive Ligue 2 matches. The visitors are a convenient opponent for that - Metz have conceded in 12 of their last 13 Ligue 2 matches. The visitors almost always find the net themselves too: Metz have scored in 13 consecutive Ligue 2 matches. However, we don't expect either side to pull ahead: at home, Grenoble have drawn 5 of their last 6 Ligue 2 matches. We're expecting a tight evening in which both teams score. The bet is both teams to score. Predicted score - 1:1.
