Grenoble hosts Monaco in the Coupe de France 1/32 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 10th at Stade des Alpes (Grenoble)
Gorgeous home performance allows Grenoble to be in close proximity to the first two places in the Ligue 2 standings. And the first line is only four points ahead. Hinschberger's squad has not hit the opponents' goal in only one out of seven last matches. Now Grenoble is in excellent shape and is one of the most productive teams in the championship. At the same time, the club has rather good defense (it concedes less than one goal per round). And the hosts conceded only seven goals at Stade de Alpes, having kept a clean sheet in more than half of the rounds.

The big dilemma for Kovac is whether to choose the regular squad or a mixed one. Things are going well in the championship. Monaco gained seven victories in a row and came close to the Champions League zone. And it even has some chances to compete for the champion’s title. But has it played against any serious rivals? Yes, the Monegasques are in great shape. The attack is working, everything is fine during set pieces, but the defense is still a problem. Kovac has not managed to improve this aspect of the game. And Monaco kept a clean sheet in only one of those seven victorious matches. It conceded three from the hopeless outsider Nimes. Crisis Nice, Marseille, and even Nantes managed to aggrieve Monaco’s goalkeeper at least once. So, what kind of a clean sheet in the game with Grenoble can we talk about?
Of course, the hosts will be extremely motivated. It doesn't matter what game you show in Ligue 2. The main thing is to approve yourself as best as possible with such an opponent as Monaco. Grenoble is a productive team and scores an average of two goals on its pitch. I agree that it is not entirely correct to compare the leagues, but the hosts have not lost at home for almost a year, so they will surely try to upset the opponents’ goalkeeper at least once.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win with a clean sheet - no
