Grenoble desperately need points on Friday, Feb 26 at 8:00 PM in the Ligue 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Metz come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 2D 0L). Grenoble travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

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

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Metz clear favorites, but Grenoble have shown they can grind out results. Expect Metz to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
