• Date: Friday, 19th, May 2023
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19.00 CEST
• Venue: Stade des Alpes (Grenoble)

Grenoble Foot 38, with bad recent results, has lost all hope of returning to Ligue 1, so their stay in the second division of France will be extended at least for one more season. Rodez AF, meanwhile, is playing its fourth season in Ligue 2 and it seems that they will not be close to the top 10 this year either, as in the previous three. Although, now their main priority is to save their place in the second division, since they are only three steps above Valenciennes - the first most threatened team.

Grenoble vs Rodez Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)

In the first half of the current season, early November, Grenoble managed to celebrate with a minimum 1-0 in the South of France - with a goal by Mamadou Diarra. However, now a cruel revenge is being prepared for the former first league, considering that at this moment Rodez needs points more than the blue team.

The recent form of GF38 is, to put it mildly, terrible and is one of the weakest in Ligue 2, as they have taken just three points from their last five league games. Admittedly, their poor form has not put them in danger of relegation, because long before the end of the season they gained a healthy advantage over the most threatened teams.

The lack of creation and realization in attack is Grenoble's weakest point this season. Only 32 goals from 35 rounds clearly defines their weakness in the attacking zone - they score less than one goal per match on average and only Niort (relegated from Ligue 2) is a worse scorer than them. Not to mention they have found the back of the net in just one of their last five Ligue 2 appearances.

Meanwhile, Rodez somehow manages to keep his head above the surface of the water (red zone), but in order not to sink in the photo-finish of the season, they will have to improve their form. The red-yellow last rejoiced on April 22 in a 3-0 victory over Annecy, which means that they are waiting for a new triumph for almost a month.

True, Le RAF went three games without success, but they drew twice during that time, and the only defeat in the last five was inflicted by the current leader Le Havre (0-1), so everything is not so bad, as it seems at first glance. Rodez, who is desperately looking for salvage points, will try to take a point at the very least from the visit to Grenoble.
