Dijon form and stats

Dijon have collected 7 points from their Ligue 2 home games so far after 2-1-2. 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.

No payout for Dijon in their previous match, an away game at Bordeaux that ended in defeat 1-2. Marié (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.33/10. Marié hit two key passes and had 37 successful passes (of 44 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Sochaux that was lost 0-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Dijon perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Dijon as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Dijon has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Dijon has scored 6 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Dijon have conceded 8 from these games.

Le Havre form and stats

3-0-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Le Havre, who have the the best goal difference (+8) away in Ligue 2, in their Ligue 2 matches away. The fact that Le Havre have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

The Havre goalkeeper Arthur Desmas is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Le Havre go into this game after a win, the home game against Annecy that ended 2-0. Defender Operi was the best team player with a rating of 7.81. Operi hit one key pass and won 9 of 14 duels.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Niort.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Le Havre playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 4 Le Havre wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Havre are regular goalscorers on their travels. Le Havre are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 4 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
