Dijon form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dijon so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 4-4-9 (win-draw-lose).

Dijon's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Guingamp that finished 3-3. It looked so good for Dijon vs Guingamp, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 3-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. Midfield player Dobre was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.41/10. Dobre scored two goals and hit one key pass.

Prior to that match, the Dijon manager Garande faced defeat when travelling to Auxerre and losing 1-2.

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

Dijon have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 18 goals have been scored. 24 goals have been conceded by Dijon in these games.
