PREVIEW: Racing bid to extend home run
Racing sit seventh, with six wins and five losses the tally from their opening 11 games of the season.
With just one win on the road, over rock-bottom Bayonne, the Parisians enjoy a 100 percent record at their home Stade Yves-du-Manoir and will look to inflict a defeat on Grenoble, languishing 13th in the table with just two victories to their name.
Former Racing playmaker Jonathan Wisniewski now plies his trade for Grenoble and the flyhalf said his team's ambitions were clear.
"We have no choice now. We have to want to play a great match no matter what ground we turn up at because in our situation, be it at home or on the road, it's a feat that has to be done," he said.
"If we want to hope to stay up it comes down to that. It's now time to continue enjoying it and playing well, as we have been doing for a few matches and then maybe fate will turn in our favour.
"We must at least not give up, not lose our motivation, but to keep taking pleasure as we have done over the last two weekends against Clermont and Bordeaux hoping that finally there'll be victories at the end."
Wisniewski said he did not read too much attention into Racing's results.
"They've had an inconsistent start to the season, but they've been able to get it together for the big games.
"Like all clubs that have just won a title, there's a 'post-champion' euphoria which leads to a decompression, and there was also a late start which complicated the beginning of the season.
"But Racing will be present during the big moments because they have a big enough squad and quality players to be up for it."
