Caen take on the visitors Dijon at "Stade Michel d'Ornano" in the matchday of the French Ligue 1. The game will be played on Saturday, September 9th.
Caen entered the new season in the Ligue 1 with two consecutive defeats with 0:2 aggregated score but then revived after those failures at the season's start, having won their two recent encounters against Lille 2:0 and Metz 1:0. Thus, Patrice Garande's side is occupying the eighth position in the standings with six points gained and 3-2 goal difference. The team conducted two clashes in face of its fans, having lost 0:1 to St Etienne and broke Metz 1:0 in the round four.

Dijon have also started the new season with two defeats: 0:3 to Marseille and 1:4 to Monaco. The club’s no-win series in official matches had been lasting since the 20th of May and only on the 26th of August the visitors managed to get 2:1 victory over Montpellier. After four gameweeks behind, Olivier Dall'Oglio's side settles on the 16th place in the elite division table with four points taken and 5-10 goal difference. Dijon participated in two games on the road, having lost 0:3 to Marseille at "Stade Velodrome" and earned 2:2 draw vs. Rennes. At the moment the team concedes too much which is the evidence of existing problems in defense.
Last season both sides were close to relegation from the Ligue 1 as they took the same number of 37 points each. The recent head-to-head between the rivals was finished with 2:0 scoreline in Dijon's favour. I believe that the forthcoming game will be equal with not many goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
