PAU and Grenoble meet at PAU's ground on 23 October in Ligue 2, and the contrast in recent form is striking. PAU have won their last three matches, scoring seven goals and conceding just three, while Grenoble have lost their last two, managing zero goals and conceding four.
PAU's last five matches tell a story of momentum. They beat Guingamp 2–1 away on 16 October, then won 3–2 at home against Laval on 9 October (Laval were reduced to ten men in the 90th minute), and before that they beat Dunkerque 2–0 at home on 18 September (Dunkerque lost a player in the 11th minute). Their only blemishes in that stretch were a 1–1 draw with Sochaux on 4 September and a 0–1 loss at Montpellier on 11 September. Over their last ten games, PAU have recorded 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, averaging 1.4 points per game and scoring 1.2 per game while conceding 1.1.
Grenoble's picture is considerably less encouraging. Their last five games include two 0–2 defeats (at home to Boulogne on 16 October and away to Montpellier on 9 October), a 0–0 friendly draw with Stade Lausanne-Ouchy on 2 October, a 1–1 draw with Clermont Foot at home on 18 September, and a 1–0 win at Rodez on 11 September. They have failed to score in three of those five matches and have kept under 2.5 goals in all five. Over their last ten games, Grenoble have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, averaging 0.9 points per game and scoring just 0.8 per game while conceding 1.5.
The head-to-head is thin on recent evidence. The only meeting within the last 12 months was a 2–2 draw at PAU's ground on 23 January 2026. The older meetings are historical: PAU won 1–0 at home in February 2025, and the rest were draws or a 0–1 PAU win at Grenoble's ground in February 2024. The full 16-meeting record shows 4 wins each and 8 draws, with 12 of the 16 finishing under 2.5 goals.
Looking at the venue records over 20 games each, PAU at home have 5 wins, 6 draws and 9 losses, scoring 1.25 per game and conceding 1.6. Grenoble away have 5 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses, scoring 1.15 per game and conceding 1.5. The numbers are close, with PAU holding a slight edge in points per game (1.05 to 1.0) and goals scored.
The strongest case for PAU is their current form and the fact that they are at home. The strongest counter-argument is that PAU's home record over 20 games is not dominant, their xG against in the last two games with data was 1.99 per game, and the only recent head-to-head meeting ended in a 2–2 draw. Grenoble's recent inability to score (0 goals in their last two) makes an away win unlikely, but it also points toward a low-scoring affair.
Key Points:
- PAU have won their last three matches, scoring 7 and conceding 3
