Grenoble desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 2 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). Sochaux, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Grenoble head into this on the back of a defeat, while Sochaux arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Grenoble and Sochaux have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–3D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Grenoble won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Grenoble a slight edge, but Sochaux are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
