Dijon to Secure at Least a Point Against Fellow Strugglers Lorient

Lorient went down 2-1 away at Bordeaux last weekend and remain second from bottom in Ligue 1, while Dijon made it three games without defeat as they held Marseille to a goalless draw last time out. Those results mean that the gap between the two clubs increased slightly to 2pts. However, a win for the hosts would take them up into 18th spot ahead of Dijon.

Dijon will be hopefully of maintaining the points gap between the two clubs at the very least this weekend as they have a good recent record against Lorient. Dijon have picked up three wins and two draws from the pair’s last five encounters in Ligue 1, with Lorient’s only victory during that period arriving in the Coupe de la Ligue.

The hosts are in poor form having lost four and drawn one of their last five league games. Dijon are aiming to make it four games without defeat on Sunday, adding to their draws against Marseille and Reims and their 3-1 win at Nimes in their last three outings. We’re expecting this game to be tight and tense as many games tend to be when they involve to clubs battling against relegation. Five of Dijon’s last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals, as have five of the last seven meetings between the visitors and Lorient, suggesting that there won’t be many goals on offer this weekend.

With form and history in their favour, we’re backing Dijon with a double chance bet this weekend and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0. Dijon picked up an important away win at bottom side Nimes recently and will be confident they can do the same to Lorient on Sunday.
