Lyon and Dijon meet in a match in the 31st round of Ligue 1. Confrontation will be held on Saturday at 16:00 on the Olympique Lyonnais Park.
During the season, the Lyon team managed to make their way to Dijon with a definite 3-0, when Moussa Dembele managed a double. The two bands met three times on this field, the first two duels being won by the hosts, 3-1 (2012) and 4-2 (2017), while the previous season’s match ended in a draw, score 3-3.
Currently, Bruno Genesio’s band is ranked 3rd in Ligue 1, 4 points behind Lille. They managed to score in the last two stages of Ligue 1, 3-2 with Montpellier and 1-0 in Rennes, but the most recent match recorded a failure, 2-3 in the French Cup against the Rennes, duel played at Olympique Lyonnais Park.
Even if it is not mathematically demoted yet, the Dijon team needs a miracle to play in Ligue 1 and next season. They rank the last position in the standings, with only 21 points accumulated in 30 stages, 9 away from the first place that maintains the first league in France. Dijon has a disastrous balance in the last nine stages of the championship, a single draw and no less than eight defeats. In the last 7 away games in Ligue 1, Dijon has suffered so many defeats at zero, and in 11 of the last 13 shifts in the league have failed to score.
Amine Gouiri and Kenny Tete, both injured, are host absences, while Frederic Sammaritano is suspended and will not evolve for guests.
Probable teams
Lyon: Lopes – Rafael, Marcelo, Denayer, Morel – Tousart, Cheikh – Traore, Fekir, Terrier – Dembele;
Dijon: Runarsson – Chafik, Yambere, Lauto, Haddadi – Amalfitano, Abeid, Marie – Sliti – Jeannot, Tavares;
Considering the above, we anticipate a success achieved by the hosts at a minimum of two goals, which will also be achieved without a goal.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1.41
