Paris FC vs Dijon Predictions

• Paris FC have won seven of their last nine Ligue 2 games at home.
• Dijon have lost five of their six away games against current top ten opposition.
• Fewer than three goals have been scored in six of the last nine Paris FC home games.

Paris can fashion a win against dismal Dijon

Paris FC are favoured to annexe the points against Dijon on Monday, but it should be a pretty tight affair for the promotion-chasing capital club. PFC dropped out of the automatic spots after going down bravely to leaders Toulouse in a clash of the top two last week.

Without seven attacking players, Thierry Laurey’s side took an early lead from a misjudged backpass and held it until the Ligue 2 leaders hit their straps after the hour mark. It leaves them staring at the possibility of facing the end-of-season playoffs again unless they can overhaul Ajaccio’s two-point advantage.

Clearly there is enough talent at the club if all are fit, but it’s worrisome that so many of their recognised goalscorers are injured at the same time. Luckily for them, ninth-placed Dijon aren’t usually a danger on the road. The Reds have won only four away games all season, the last of which was in January.

One goal could be enough for the hosts

Dijon have beaten only one club currently inside Ligue 2’s top-10 away from home from six attempts, so it’s unlikely they get anything from this fixture. And Paris FC’s record of six clean sheets in their last nine home games boosts our confidence that one goal may indeed be enough for them.

The selection that looks good to us is to back Paris FC to win with fewer than three goals in the match – a scenario that has played out in six of their last eight home wins. Likewise, a 1-0 home success is preferred in correct score betting as three of Paris FC’s last seven home wins have been by that score and Dijon haven’t conceded multiple goals in five of their last seven road trips.
