Match preview
The 'Seasiders' are having an excellent season and occupy fourth place in the standings after 30 rounds. Dunkerque has 51 points, which is 10 points less than second-placed Paris FC. At the same time, the team is seven points ahead of sixth-placed Annecy, so at least the promotion playoffs are guaranteed for the 'Seasiders'.
However, it must be admitted that the team has significantly dropped in results towards the end and is mainly relying on past achievements. In the last match, the 'Seasiders' lost away to Amiens with a score of 0-1, despite having a numerical advantage from the 43rd minute. This defeat was their fourth in the last five rounds, with only one victory in this stretch.
As for Grenoble, the 'White-Blues' are perhaps just playing out the season, as they are in ninth place in the standings, eight points behind fifth-placed Guingamp. At the same time, the relegation zone is at a decent distance of 12 points.
In recent matches, the 'White-Blues' have not often pleased with positive results. In the last game, Grenoble hosted one of the leaders, Paris FC, and lost 1-2. Overall, the team has only one victory in the last five rounds. Against the backdrop of general results, the team performs quite well away, securing four victories in the last four away matches.
Probable line-ups
- Dunkerque: Ortola, Abner, Sasso, Sangate, Jorgen, Queirós, Riviera, Pritu, Skutta, Al Sadd, Courte
