This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 1, Dijon holding 16th place and Metz lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Dijon form and stats
3-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for Dijon so far this season.
The home team returns to Stade Gaston Gerard after sharing the points with Amiens SC (placed 17th) on their last time out; the Ligue 1 game ended 1-1. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Nantes.
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 Dijon have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
The Dijon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Dijon have conceded 8 goals.
