Nîmes form and stats
With {1 Ligue 1 wins}, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Nîmes, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Ligue 1, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Nîmes are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade des Costières with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Brest match.
The home team returns to Stade des Costières after being equal after 90 minutes with Saint-Étienne (placed 14th) on their last time out; the Ligue 1 game ended 2-2. Preceding that match was the home game against Nice that was lost 0-2.
The Nîmes goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet was crucial in the match against Saint-Étienne last time out, making seven saves. The hometeam coach J. Arpinon made a successful contribution in the game against Saint-Étienne, bringing on Renaud Ripart who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.
This is expected to be a close game, with Nîmes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nîmes as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Nîmes has won five of these, drawn four and lost three.
The Nîmes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Nîmes have conceded 19 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Dijon form and stats
Dijon, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Ligue 1, have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Ligue 1, after 1-2-4 (7 played).
M. Konate was the last player to score for the away team. Dijon haven't scored a league goal in the last 216 minutes.
Dijon might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Monaco proved too strong as Dijon slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Gaston-Gérard. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Lille.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Dijon in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Dijon, zero draws and two defeats.
