Dijon hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 24 points and a 17th position in the Ligue 1 table. Visiting Nantes holds 10th place with 32 pts.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Dijon and Nantes.
Dijon form and stats
When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Dijon have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 11 games. Dijon has recorded two wins in a row here at Stade Gaston-Gérard, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Dijon are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Nîmes. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Brest.
This is expected to be a close game, with Dijon perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dijon as a small favourite), we find nine games. Dijon has won five of these, drawn one and lost three.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Coupe de France game versus Paris Saint Germain in only four days. This game is also played here at Stade Gaston-Gérard.
Dijon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. From these home matches, Dijon have conceded only 10 goals.
Nantes form and stats
As the visiting team in Ligue 1 matches, Nantes have produced an overall stat of 4-1-6 so far. Recent form does not give Nantes much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Dijon will be a tough nut to crack.
