Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Fans may not be thrilled to read this, but we don't predict a thriller here. The stats suggest Valenciennes and Grenoble both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds point towards a tie with fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think that's a great shout and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 40% chance of Grenoble coming away with a win.
