Dijon form and stats

Dijon have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-2-4 (7 played).

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Dijon goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet is eager to challenge this, with his 225 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Dijon won their last game, 5-0 versus Laval played at home. That win was so important for this club, after a terrible period of ten league matches in a row not winning. As you can tell from the results above, Dijon was very dominant against Laval, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Soumaré (2), Silva and Bihan providing the goals. Bihan, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.14. Bihan scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Grenoble Foot 38.

The attacking power of Dijon when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Dijon have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the previous two meetings between these two contenders are: zero wins for Rodez, one draw and one win for Dijon. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
