An important duel in the bottom section of the Ligue 1, with both Dijon and Nîmes experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 19th and the visitors in 20th place.
- Dijon has the fewest scored goals (17) in Ligue 1
- Nîmes has the most conceded goals (51) in Ligue 1
It's no vacation for neither Dijon nor Nîmes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Dijon form and stats
Dijon's results here at Stade Gaston-Gérard in the Ligue 1 have been very modest with 0 victories, 6 draws and 6 defeats. Dijon are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade Gaston-Gérard with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in twelve attempts. The last victory here came in the Angers SCO match. It's trouble wherever Dijon are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
The Dijon crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Lille here at Stade Gaston-Gérard in a Coupe de France match. A Ligue 1 defeat was the result before that one, 2-4 away at Montpellier.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Dijon have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost two.
Dijon has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 4 goals from 12 games. Dijon's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Nîmes form and stats
Nîmes, who have the most conceded goals (51) in Ligue 1, have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 3-2-7 (12 played). It's a growing despair in Nîmes as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Nîmes seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The manager P. Plancque was unhappy after their last game, a Coupe de France match played at their home ground Stade des Costières. Nîmes suffered a 1-3 loss to Nice (placed 13th). Preceding that, the 3-4 home loss versus Monaco.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nîmes playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Nîmes win, one draw and four defeats.
The attacking power of Nîmes when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 12 league matches away. Nîmes have conceded 24 goals in these games.
