Lorient form and stats
Lorient's struggle is real here at Stade Yves Allainmat - Le Moustoir with only 7 points collected from 9 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-6. The Lorient manager C. Pélissier might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
No payout for Lorient in their previous match, an away game at Bordeaux that ended in defeat 1-2. Ahead of that match, Lorient lost 2-5 at home to Monaco.
This is expected to be a close game, with Lorient perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lorient as a small favourite), we find seven games. Lorient has won one of these, drawn four and lost two.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lorient, as the Ligue 1 home game vs PSG is only four days away.
Lorient has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Dijon form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dijon, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Ligue 1, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose). The last three matches for Dijon have all ended in a draw.
Dijon played 1-1 against Strasbourg in their previous match. A draw for Dijon before that, at their own venue hosting Olympique Marseille (0-0).
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Dijon playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Dijon win, zero draws and two defeats.
Dijon has another fixture away, a Ligue 1 game, against Lille in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Dijon find the net regularly in their away games. 9 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Dijon have conceded 16 goals in their away games.
