Bordeaux vs Dijon: Preview and Prediction

Bordeaux vs Dijon
French Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, 26th November 2016
Kick off at 19:00 UK Time
Venue: Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux, Bordeaux.

Bordeaux have not lost in their last five games when they prepare to host Dijon however they have drawn four of these matches. Currently they are in 7th place but a huge 12 points behind league leaders Nice. They have lost just 1 game at home which surprisingly was against Angers. But too many draws against teams below them has meant that the first three months of the campaign have been a disappointing one for the club.

Dijon were beaten 1-0 by Nancy last week which ended a 4 game unbeaten run. Whilst Dijon has been decent at home they are amongst the worst travellers in Ligue 1 and have yet to win a game on the road. They have also scored just 2 times away from home.

Bordeaux vs Dijon: Head to Head Stats

There aren’t many meetings between the two clubs, just three in fact in modern times and in fact Dijon have in this respect never lost to Bordeaux. Dijon have two wins at their ground and a 1-1 result at Bordeaux. Two matches that took place in Ligue 1 were both 0-0 correct scores at half time and when the teams have met just in Ligue 1 there has never been more than two goals in the match.

Bordeaux vs Dijon: Prediction

So Bordeaux don’t have a good record against Dijon but this should change this weekend. We can expect a very open game and Dijon are just too naïve away from home for us to put full trust in them. A solid home victory, with a small stake on the correct score.
