Grenoble took the lead in the 19th minute, though it came courtesy of an own goal from Yoann Salmier, and that score held through half-time and deep into the second half.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Grenoble 45%, the draw 31%, Clermont Foot 24%. It finished Grenoble 1–1 Clermont Foot.
Grenoble's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Grenoble are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Grenoble's 45%. The draw at 31% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Grenoble at 45%?
Grenoble sit 58 points higher on our strength rating — 1506 to 1448. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,470 such games.
Why only 45%?
Clermont Foot hold 8 more possession points (46 to 38 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.3% across 5,594 games, from 43.9% when styles were level.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Clermont Foot win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 1.9 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.1% of 18,220. The goals environment adds 3.5 points to the draw. The control factor adds 1.3 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Grenoble come into this after a busy window — 18 arrivals and 10 departures over the summer. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). Clermont Foot won 3 of the last 6 meetings with Grenoble. The record is 3 wins for Clermont Foot, 2 draws and 1 win for Grenoble. These were 6 Ligue 2 games played between 5 January 2021 and 3 April 2026. Latest meeting: 3 April 2026 — Grenoble 2–2 Clermont Foot. In 5,641 historical matches between similarly rated teams, visiting sides with the stronger head-to-head record won 28.1%.
