This season has been a rollercoaster for these teams so far, both rise and fall leading to mid-table positions so far. Let's get ready for Dijon - Pau!

Insights:
  • Dijon have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Pau have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

These teams have little in common geographically as Pau have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Pau form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Pau so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-6 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Pau has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Pau are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Bastia (placed 17th).

A loss against Nîmes was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The attacking power of Pau when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 11 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Pau have conceded 18 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
