Dijon hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 20th position in the Ligue 1 table. Visiting Lens holds 11th place with 14 pts.
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.

0 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Dijon, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in Ligue 1, have to build on here at Stade Gaston-Gérard in the Ligue 1. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. Three draws in a row here at Stade Gaston-Gérard for Dijon, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
An away draw last time out for Dijon, facing Metz in a game that ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Lorient that ended 0-0.
Mounir Chouiar felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Metz as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 31st minute.

There were no winners in Lens's previous match, a Ligue 1 home game that ended 4-4 vs Reims (placed 16th). Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Lille's place.
The match against Reims looked like a defeat for Lens, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 4-4. Florian Sotoca equalized in the 90th minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Lens, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
A quick return to home after this game, as Lens are hosting Nantes in the Ligue 1 only three days away.
