Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Cannes & Dijon face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Cannes form and stats
Cannes participated in Coupe de France the last season, where they reached the quarter-finals.An away draw last time out for Cannes, facing Furiani-Agliani in a game that ended 2-2. Late drama in the game against Furiani-Agliani as Cannes were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Kielt popped out and made it level in the 84th minute.
Ahead of that match, Cannes won a home game hosting Rousset-Ste Victoire (3-0).Dijon form and stats
Dijon's mission in Coupe de France last season failed in the 32nd finals.There's been little loot from Dijon's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Ligue 2. Dijon only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws.
There were no winners in Dijon's previous match, a Ligue 2 home game that ended 2-2 vs Niort. Dijon's last match (vs Niort) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 84th minute equalizer by Bihan. The draw against Niort came from a losing position. The Dijon manager Garande brought on Bihan as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. Midfielder Jacob was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.52. Jacob served one assist, hit three key passes and had 26 successful passes (of 32 total).
Prior to that match, the Dijon manager Garande faced defeat when travelling to Guingamp and losing 2-3.The schedule is very tough for Dijon now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligue 2 game at Nancy is waiting in only three days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Dijon as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Dijon have conceded 13 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
