Season ticket holders at Stade Gaston-Gérard haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Dijon languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Nice will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Dijon form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories so far this season, with Dijon, who have the fewest scored goals (11) at home in Ligue 1, only managing 3 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses so far from their games here at Stade Gaston-Gérard.In their previous game, the manager A. Kombouare led his Dijon to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Guingamp. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Gaston-Gérard. Preceding that match was the home game against PSG that was lost 0-4.
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 five games. Dijon has won 3 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.
Dijon have scored 11 goals here in 14 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Dijon defense is not exactly impregnable. 24 goals conceded from 14 games.
Nice form and stats
Playing away, Nice have won 4 games, drawn 5 and suffered 6 defeats so far this season. Bitter travels for Nice as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Reims.Nice's last game was the home draw against Toulouse (1-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Olympique Marseille wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 24 similar matches played by Nice in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Nice, 8 draws and 10 defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Nice as they have only managed to score 9 times from 15 away games. Nice have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.
