The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Nantes are in the 12th position while the guests worry at 16th.
It's no vacation for neither Nantes nor Dijon 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.
Nantes form and stats
16 points is a decent return from 8 Ligue 1 games here at Stade de la Beaujoire for Nantes. The data says 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Nantes has recorded two wins in a row here at Stade de la Beaujoire, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Nantes's previous game was a Ligue 1 match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Dijon (placed 16th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Nantes lost 0-2 at Paris Saint Germain's place.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Nantes's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.
Nantes has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Nantes are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade de la Beaujoire in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 8 matches.
Dijon form and stats
There's been little loot from Dijon's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Ligue 1. Dijon only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Dijon as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Olympique Lyonnais match.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Dijon, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Nantes (placed 12th). A draw for Dijon before that, at their own venue hosting Montpellier (2-2).
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Dijon playing away, we found six games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 3 home wins.
Goals are few and far between in Dijon's away league games. Only 3 goals from 8 travels. Dijon have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Nantes - Dijon 1-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Nantes, 2 draws and 3 wins for Dijon. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 7 games.Top Goalscorers
