📋 Team News: Dijon

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Dijon manager David Linarès to be concerned with from an otherwise complete squad. Mickaël Le Bihan (Ankle Surgery) is out of contention.

📋 Team News: Sochaux

With a completely injury-free squad available for selection, Sochaux manager Omar Daf has zero fitness concerns to report ahead of this clash.

✨ Prediction

In our opinion, Sochaux could find themselves up against it to breach the defence of this Dijon side who we think will manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a narrow 1-0 winning margin for Dijon at the end of the 90.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
