Struggling Dijon are eager to pull off a surprise win when they play top side Auxerre in the upcoming league match. It’s 16th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have not-so-high confidence.

Insights:
  • Dijon have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Auxerre have the most points from losing position (7) in Ligue 2

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Dijon form and stats

3 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That’s what Dijon have to build on here at Stade Gaston-Gérard in the Ligue 2.

Dijon haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 195 minutes ago. A. Dobre scored that one.

A good away victory last time out for Dijon, who won 3-0 against Saint-Apollinaire.

Heartbreak before that as Dijon lost 0-1 at Ajaccio's place.

The Dijon fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Dijon have conceded 11 goals. When Dijon hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Nancy, Dunkerque, Valenciennes, Amiens SC, Bastia and Quevilly Rouen), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Auxerre form and stats

The visitors are W3-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 2.

Auxerre play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Limonest. As you can tell from the result, the match against Limonest was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Pau in the Ligue 2.

The visiting Auxerre have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 9 goals from 7 games. 10 goals have been conceded by Auxerre in these games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the former ten meetings): Dijon won two games, three matches ended with a tie and Auxerre have five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
