In the last four, Grenoble Foot won one, one was drawn and US Boulogne won two.

Where it pulls both ways. Grenoble Foot are the form side, but the meetings favour US Boulogne: in the last seven meetings, Grenoble Foot won one, US Boulogne won four and two were drawn.
The read. No side to back. A tight game. Form and the meetings point different ways, so I back neither side. Their goals for and against point to a tight game. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 36%. Four of the last seven meetings went under 2.5.
The bets. Best bet: Under 3.5 Goals at 1.20, 77% on the records (Grenoble Foot: under 3.5 goals in 8 of 10; US Boulogne: under 3.5 goals in 5 of 5 away). Backup: 1st Half - GG/NG: No at 1.14. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Grenoble Foot or Under 2.5 Goals (no result call); US Boulogne or Under 2.5 Goals (no result call); Over 0.5 Goals (no overs on a tight read). Predicted score: Grenoble Foot 1-1 US Boulogne (14% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (a tight game).
