In a decisive match in Ligue 2 on the 11th of March 2024, Grenoble Foot 38 hosted Stade Lavallois Mayenne FC. The visitors claimed a clear victory with 2-0 against Grenoble, demonstrating that despite being the away team, they managed to outplay the home team.

The first sign of Lavallois's winner potential came only about half an hour into the first half, when they took the lead with their first goal. This goal seemed to be a wake-up call for Grenoble, as evidenced by the yellow card they received only five minutes after the goal. However, this didn't seem to translate into a more aggressive or effective offense, as neither goals, shots on target, nor corner kicks tally indicated a strong rebound.

In fact, Grenoble could only accumulate four corner kicks for the entire match, while Lavallois managed to win seven. This difference in corner kicks accentuates the pressure Lavallois was able to exert throughout the match, leading to better control of the game flow.

Going into the second half, Lavallois doubled their advantage at 72nd minute securing their lead, while the home side's response remained mute, instead earning a second yellow card only five minutes later. Both sides started to play more aggressively as the game continued, each earning their last yellow card within the final quarter of an hour. Although both teams ended the game with the same number of yellow cards (3), Grenoble seemed to have been more affected by these cautions as this hampered their ability to mount a successful comeback.

Despite the aggressive play towards the end, neither team ended with any red cards. This suggests that while the teams were pushing the envelope of their play, they were still cautious enough to avoid an even larger disadvantage.

One more aspect worth pointing out is the number of fouls committed by both teams. Usually, a high number of fouls can point to a lack of control and discipline, potentially costing teams scoring opportunities. Lavallois committed a slightly higher number of fouls (7), compared to Grenoble's 5. Despite this, Lavallois was still able to maintain focus and capitalize on their scoring chances while keeping their discipline to avoid any red cards.

In conclusion, Lavallois clearly dominated this match with better offensive opportunities as indicated by the number of corner kicks and successful conversions. Despite having the same number of fouls and yellow cards, Grenoble's inability to create solid scoring chances ultimately led to their downfall. These factors suggest that for future matches, bettors should consider the teams' comparative offensive potential and discipline, rather than just relying on home field advantage.
