Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Dijon & Paris Saint Germain face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Dijon nor Paris Saint Germain as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Dijon form and stats
Last season their Coupe de France adventure ended in the quarter-finals.Dijon have collected 20 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 5-5-2. On the other hand, in the Coupe de France, Dijon has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. The Dijon fans aren't used to losing here at Stade Gaston-Gérard and will expect new points from this game. Dijon has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.
Dijon drew their last game, also a home match. Nantes was the opponent, 3-3 the score. Heartbreak before that as Dijon lost 0-2 at Nimes's place.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The manager S. Jobard will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bordeaux in only three days.
Dijon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. Dijon have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Paris Saint Germain form and stats
Last season their Coupe de France adventure ended in the final.Paris Saint Germain have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 30 points collected from 12 Ligue 1 games. 10 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats is the record so far.

In general it has been a productive period now for Paris Saint Germain as they haven't lost any of their last twelve games. A great winning streak in away games for Paris Saint Germain as they have managed to win six matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Dijon have they travelled home without three points.
Paris Saint Germain won their last game, 4-2 versus Olympique Lyonnais played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Nantes at their stadium, the result 2-1.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Paris Saint Germain, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
The schedule is very tough for Paris Saint Germain now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligue 1 game at Amiens SC is waiting in only three days.
The Paris Saint Germain manager T. Tuchel has got the team scoring on the road, with 27 away goals in 12 league matches. It's not easy to score on Paris Saint Germain as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
