Pau and Grenoble Foot 38 meet in Ligue 2 tonight, with the hosts sitting 6th on 14 points from 9 matches while the visitors are 15th with 8 points. The two teams need points in different ways: Pau want to push up into the top group before the break, while Grenoble Foot 38 need to stop their slide down the table. Pau are in a spell where their attack is working well, on a winning run and winning 2-1 in their last match. It wasn't a blowout, but scoring in every game is what gives them confidence. Grenoble Foot 38, meanwhile, have lost their last two without scoring at all, and their defence has already conceded 15 goals from 9 matches. The two teams are clearly in different states: the hosts are on a roll, the visitors are looking for a way out of a bad patch. This game will likely start with Pau holding the ball and pushing high, while Grenoble Foot 38 will probably sit deep and wait to counter. The first half may not be a heavy exchange of blows, as the visitors will focus on closing spaces first, but in the second half, if the hosts keep control of the tempo and take the lead, the game will open up and Pau have a chance to edge it thanks to their superior attacking quality.
