It's worth saying this sample blends Ligue 2 fixtures with pre-season friendlies and some Ligue 3 matches from last season, so it's not a pure current-league read. Even so, the overall pattern favours Dijon as the side picking up more positive results lately.

Dijon's broader sample looks stronger, but it's not all top-flight Ligue 2 form.

Comparative Team Statistics: Grenoble vs Dijon

Head-to-head history

The available meetings between these two stretch back to 2010, and the more recent ones have tended to go Dijon's way, including a couple of tight 1-0 wins and a goalless draw in the early 2020s. There's also a 2-1 Dijon win from 2021 in the mix.

Further back, in 2010, Grenoble won 3-1, which is a reminder that this history spans different eras and squads. It's not something to lean on heavily for a match over a decade later.

Recent meetings lean towards Dijon, but the sample is old enough to treat with caution.

Where they stand now

Seven games into the Ligue 2 season, Dijon sit 9th with nine points from two wins, three draws and two losses, and an even goal difference of 10 for and 10 against. Grenoble are just below in 13th on eight points, with two wins, two draws and three losses, having scored eight and conceded 11.

There's only a point and a few places separating them, so neither side has built any real cushion this early on.

Both clubs are in the bottom half of the table so far, with little to choose between them on points.

Players to watch

Dijon's goals have been shared around up front, with Samy Olivier Chouchane and Júlio Tavares both on three goals from their recent appearances. That spread of scoring threat is worth noting rather than relying on one man.

Grenoble:

Penalty cards:

J. Akpa Akpro x 4

C. Vidal x 3

S. Diba x 3

Dijon:

Best scorers:

Samy Olivier Chouchane - 3

On the disciplinary side, Grenoble's J. Akpa Akpro has picked up four yellow cards in seven matches, more than any of the other listed players, while Dijon's most-booked man, A. Lembezat, has just two in the same number of games. None of this confirms who will or won't be available on the day.
