This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 1, Dijon holding 20th place and Nantes lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Insights:
  • Dijon have the fewest scored goals (24) in Ligue 1
  • Nantes have scored at least twice as many goals away as Dijon have scored home.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

For Dijon relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Nantes are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
