The travelling Marseille have undergone a sharp recession. Before their previous fixture against Bordeaux, they racked up 6 points in 8 rounds and descended to the 9th tier. However, Marseille’s last-round victory over Bordeaux and Nice’s defeat enabled them to climb 2 lines up. Marseille did win Bordeaux, but the latter played shorthanded as of 25th minute. So, it is not yet clear if Marseille are recovering or they just featured luck. Therefore, there is no point in betting either on their win, or on their defeat.
Dijon’s low effectiveness is worth our attention though. On their soil, the team scored over once in only 3 of 11 clashes. 1 of these was held in terms of the 2nd round and the other 2 encounters saw Dijon scoring to the above-mentioned poor Monaco and the rock-bottom Guingamp. Overall, Dijon scored more than 1 goal in only 6 of 22 rounds.
Though Marseille allowed many goals (33), half of them (16) were missed in 5 encounters. Moreover, of their 11 latest rounds, they allowed more than once in only 4 meetings, 2 of which were against the fourth-placed Saint-Etienne and the second-placed Lille. Finally, in 7 previous head-to-heads against Dijon, Marseille were netted more than 1 goal only twice. 1 of the clashes was held on their turf. Considering all the above, Dijon’s fans are unlikely to celebrate over 1 goal tomorrow.
Prediction for the match: Dijon to score under 1.5 goals.
