Bordeaux form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Bordeaux have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games.

The Bordeaux supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Dijon in Ligue 1 and win 2-1. A strong away win before that one, visiting Metz and winning 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bordeaux have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn four and lost two.

Bordeaux are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 11 games. Bordeaux have only conceded 9 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Dijon form and stats

There's been little loot from Dijon's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 12 away games in the Ligue 1. Dijon only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Dijon's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Dijon play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Bordeaux (placed 8th). A 1-6 loss hosting Paris Saint Germain before that.

Dijon are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and six defeats. From a total of nine matches.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Dijon's away games in the league this season with only 5 goals from 12 matches. 16 goals have been conceded by Dijon in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Dijon - Bordeaux 0-2 played earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Bordeaux seven wins, two draws and Dijon one victory. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
