Grenoble vs Nancy Prediction & Betting Tips (20 December)

Beating Nancy 1-0 and held in check by Montpellier 1-1 in the first half of the month, Grenoble ranks virtually 11th in Ligue 2 at mid-term. The GF38 is even undefeated in its last 3 outings in all competitions, with its victory at Annecy L2; 1-2 in the last round of the Coupe de France. He then began his journey in mid-November against Villefontaine 0-3, a team resident in Regional 2. His quarter-final in 2023 remains his best performance in the competition over the last 15 years. Pablo Correa's ASNL is less successful at the moment.

It remained on 4 defeats in Ligue 2, including its opponent of the day at the start of the month 1-0, until leaving the red zone last week thanks to its narrow victory over Clermont 1-0. Its first two appearances in the Coupe de France allowed the club to stay the course at the same time. He got off to a flying start a month ago in the Nancy derby against Tomblaine R3; 5-0 and again against Sarreguemines R1; 3-4 in a goal match. 

The GF38 risks once again evolving without number 1 goalkeeper Diop, starting central defender Mambo and the more discreet Mouazan (striker, no goals in 6 L2 matches). To this must be added the suspension imposed on defensive captain Paquiez. The coach should not make many changes to the eleven compared to the last Championship match. Diaby (6 goals in L2) is Grenoble's top scorer. He contributed to the victory in the last round against Annecy when supersub Djitté scored a hat-trick against Villefontaine. Elphege, for his part, has just scored a 4th achievement against Montpellier in Ligue 2.

 Nancy is making the trip without her replacement goalkeepers Sourzac and Noël and her left side Maouassa with potential starting status. The Saint-Ruf defensive framework is returning from suspension since the last Championship match. Ouotro (2 goals in the last round) is a major asset up front when Gélin, freshly arrived, brings all his experience to midfield. The probable compositions for Grenoble - Nancy: Grenoble: Allain - Mouyokolo, Vidal, Sarikaya - Delos, Diba, Valls, Benet, Mion - Diaby, Djitté. Nancy: Lembet - Tacafred, Fernandez, Carlier, Saint-Ruf, Experience - Guendez, Gélin, Bouriaud, Fdaouch - Bouabdeli.
