Dijon

DLDLDD ⚠

Dijon head into this game following on from a 1-1 Ligue 1 stalemate against FC Metz.

In that game, Dijon had 55% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Dijon was Mama Baldé (13'). FC Metz got 14 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Papa Ndiaga Yade (21') scored for FC Metz.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that Dijon have shown defensive steel. The facts show that Dijon have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 11 goals along the way.

Leading up to this clash, Dijon:

• have not lost a league tie with RC Lens in their last 7 games.
• are unbeaten in their previous 3 home league matches.
• are without a home win in the past 5 league games. That's never good.

RC Lens

WWDWLD

In the game prior to this, RC Lens drew 4-4 in the Ligue 1 match with Reims.

In that match, RC Lens managed 62% possession and 14 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. For RC Lens, the goalscorers were Simon Banza (21'), Facundo Medina (79' Own goal) and Florian Sotoca (90', 91'). For their opponents, Stade de Reims had 8 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Mathieu Cafaro (47'), Boulaye Dia (54', 81') and Thomas Foket (77' Own goal) scored for Reims.

The stats tell the story, and RC Lens have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 12 goals overall. At the back, Les Artésiens just haven’t been too solid at all. We will find out whether or not that trend will end up being sustained here.

🤜🤛 Head to head

ℹ️ Team News: Dijon

There is just the lone fitness concern for the Dijon gaffer Stéphane Jobard to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Éric Ebimbe (Muscle Injury) is out of contention.

📋 Team News: RC Lens

Due to a mostly healthy group, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the RC Lens boss Franck Haise to contend with. Cheick Traoré (Achilles tendon rupture) misses out for this game.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Dijon will need to push hard to be putting a goal past this RC Lens lineup who should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

That’s why our selection here is for a highly competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for RC Lens at the end of this game.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
