Grenoble Foot 38 host Dijon on October 30 in a Ligue 2 match that brings together two sides seeking a response to recent defeats. Grenoble have gone five matches without a win and sit 16th, while ninth-placed Dijon have lost their last two. The visitors have a four-point cushion over the relegation zone, but neither team arrives with much recent momentum. The match at the Stade des Alpes is scheduled for 19:00 local time.

Grenoble Foot 38's Recent Form and Key Stats

Grenoble's difficulty turning matches into points has become more pronounced in recent weeks. Their last five games have brought two draws and three defeats, with the losses coming consecutively against Montpellier HSC, US Boulogne and Pau. They scored only 0.4 goals per match across that five-game stretch while conceding 1.4. The latest setback was a 2-1 defeat to Pau on October 23.

Across their ten Ligue 2 matches this season, Grenoble have recorded two wins, two draws and six losses. Their averages of 0.9 goals scored and 1.7 conceded per game illustrate the challenge: they have had trouble producing enough in attack while also allowing opponents chances to score. Playing at home has not yet delivered a league victory, so the Stade des Alpes fixture offers an opportunity to change that record as well as end their current winless run.

The home scoring figures add another note of caution. Four of Grenoble's last ten home Ligue 2 matches finished with no goals for either side, while five of their last 22 league matches were also goalless. Those figures do not rule out an open contest against Dijon, but they show why Grenoble cannot rely on home advantage alone to lift their attacking output.

Dijon's Recent Form and Key Stats

Dijon have had a more productive start to the season in terms of points, collecting three wins and three draws alongside four defeats. They are ninth in Ligue 2, four points clear of the relegation zone. Their immediate form is less encouraging: defeats to Stade de Reims and Rodez have interrupted a five-match sequence that otherwise included two victories and a draw. The most recent loss was 2-1 against Rodez on October 24.

Goals have been a consistent feature of Dijon's matches. Over their last five outings, they have averaged 2.2 scored and 2.2 conceded per game; their season averages are 1.7 scored and 1.8 conceded. They have found the net in each of their last 12 away matches, but have also conceded at least once in each of their last 13 matches. That combination gives Dijon a clear route to troubling Grenoble's defence without suggesting they can take a clean sheet for granted.

There is also a contrast between Dijon's away scoring run and their starts on the road: they have been behind at half-time in each of their last three away Ligue 2 games. Meanwhile, every one of their last 12 matches has featured at least one second-half goal, a run that includes their last ten Ligue 2 fixtures. Even if the opening period proves difficult, their recent results indicate that the match could still change after the break.

Grenoble Foot 38 vs Dijon Match Analysis

The central question is whether Grenoble can turn home advantage into the attacking improvement they need. Their five-match winless run and modest scoring average over that period contrast with Dijon's run of goals away from home. Yet the visitors' defensive record leaves room for Grenoble to respond, especially if they can make more of the chances available to them than they have in recent games.

Recent head-to-head results offer another point of comparison. From Grenoble's perspective, the supplied five-match summary shows no wins, two draws and three defeats against Dijon, with averages of 0.4 goals scored and 1.0 conceded. Their most recent meeting, on March 4, 2023, finished 1-0. That history favours the visitors, although Grenoble's current home match will be decided by how the teams perform now rather than by previous meetings.

Dijon's two consecutive losses make this far from a straightforward assignment, particularly given their run of conceding in 13 straight matches. Nevertheless, they have taken more points than Grenoble this season, have scored in 12 successive away games and face a home side still searching for its first league win at the Stade des Alpes. Those factors give Dijon the stronger case to end their losing sequence, provided they can limit the openings their own defensive record has repeatedly allowed.
