Recap
Grenoble is the biggest surprise after 4 rounds in Ligue 2. They produced an amazing performance in all matches (didn’t concede a single goal), winning against strong side St Etienne 0-1, Paris 2-0, and took two goalless draws on hard matches against promotion candidates Troyes and Auxerre. Coach Vincent Hognon is pleased with the way the new players played because players like Postolach (UTA Arad), Rigo (Beerschot), and Xantippe (Amiens) bring an additional quality to their ranks. In an incredible game, Bastia won 3-2 against Troyes at home, but coach Regis Brouard has serious problems with absence for this match. Due to suspensions key midfielders Vincent (4/1), Ducrocq (4/0), and main goalkeeper Placide (3/0) are out of the squad, while Guidi is injured. Grenoble is showing excellent form at the start of the season and remains unbeaten after four matches. Bastia is coming off a great upset against Troyes, traveling with key absences, and expect Grenoble to stay undefeated.
