National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Limonest or Dijon that keep their silverware dream alive.
The visiting Dijon played their last game only three days ago, a Ligue 1 match. That game was also an away game, at Montpellier. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Limonest form and stats
Limonest was eliminated in the 32nd finals last season in the Coupe de France.Limonest have played 5 National 3: Group M games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-0-1 (wins-draws-losses). On the other hand, in the Coupe de France, Limonest has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. Limonest has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Groupama OL Academy Décines-Charpieu. We remember; it was Montlucon.
The Limonest goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 202 minutes without conceding a goal in the National 3: Group M.
Happy days for Limonest in their previous game, a Coupe de France match away at Prix-lès-Mézières that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, Limonest drew at home versus Le Puy F.43 Auvergne.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the National 3: Group M game versus Rumilly Vallieres in only four days. This game is also played here at Groupama OL Academy Décines-Charpieu.
Limonest can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 10 times. Limonest have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Dijon form and stats
They also participated in Coupe de France last season. This ended in the quarter-finals.There's been little loot from Dijon's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the Ligue 1. Dijon only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws.
Two away games in a row for Dijon, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Montpellier in the Ligue 1. A home win before that, celebrating 5-0 vs Nîmes.
A new game in only four days for Dijon, the Ligue 1 home match versus Brest. Busy days.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Dijon's away games in the league this season with only 5 goals from 11 matches. As opposed to that, Dijon have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
