Grenoble desperately need points on Friday, Jan 22 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Grenoble come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Montpellier, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Grenoble head into this on the back of a defeat, while Montpellier arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Grenoble and Montpellier have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–2D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Grenoble won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Montpellier's quality should tell even on the road. Grenoble will push, but the visitors have too much class. Montpellier to win.
