Dijon form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Ligue 1 this season. Dijon, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Ligue 1, have only managed 0 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stade Gaston-Gérard. With eight home Ligue 1 games in a row without a win, the Dijon fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Angers SCO game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Dijon crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Lille here at Stade Gaston-Gérard in a Ligue 1 match. Preceding that game was the away draw at Nantes that finished 1-1.

There will be little rest for Dijon after this match as they are travelling to Nîmes for a Ligue 1 game in only three days.

Dijon have scored 3 goals here in 8 league matches, a depressing statistic. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Dijon's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Monaco form and stats

Monaco have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 2-0-5 (7 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Monaco as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Nîmes match. Monaco seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Monaco's previous game was their home loss versus Lens (0-3). Prior to that match, the Monaco manager N. Kovač faced defeat when travelling to Olympique Marseille and losing 1-2.

Monaco lost heavily in their last match (against Lens as mentioned above) and the damage happened in the first half. Something did not go right in the pre-game preparations.

After this away game Monaco return home for a Ligue 1 game against Saint-Étienne. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Monaco have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Monaco struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 12 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's one Dijon victory, four draws and five Monaco wins. Over/under statistics; four of these games ended with three goals or more, six matches with two goals or less.
