Bordeaux vs Dijon Betting Tips
Dijon suffered their sixth defeat of the season at the weekend as they slumped to a 2-0 loss at Brest. Dijon had chances but ultimately dominated by the newly promoted side. Stéphane Jobard men have won just two of their eleven matches so far and currently sit bottom of Ligue 1 Dijon scored only five goals so far, the lowest tally in the league, but they may be worth it to have some time they sat a tenth very honored for the opportunity created. They have a decent XG nearly twelve goals but wayward finishing has really cost them so far. They rank fourth for 'Big Possibilities' is made with 21 but has lost 17 of them.
The defeat against Brest was their first defeat in four matches but Dijon totally ruined the game as they suffered their worst XGA figures this season. Dijon will be the visitors for this one, which will make it more difficult game because they have lost four of their last six games on the road. Dijon has also lost four of their last five clashes with Bordeaux so they have to be on their game 'A' here.
Bordeaux will be sure to win their home tie with sit-8 in Ligue 1 but they are not much better than Dijon in terms of shape because they have lost three of their last four games. The difference with Bordeaux was that defeat they had to Sainte-Étienne, PSG and Lille, who are all very capable opponent. Outwith it, Bordeaux has been very impressive recently against opponents weaker with win over Toulouse (3-1), Amiens (3-1) and Metz (2-0).
Bordeaux has scored 15 goals this season, the fifth best tally in the league, but ten of them have come on the road because they have really struggled in front of their own fans. Only one of those four wins have come at Matmut XG Atlantique and they have the third lowest at home this season. The latest results Bordeaux is a poor 3-0 defeat at Lille so that the freedom of the cup will be a welcome challenge.
Bordeaux has a great record on Dijon so we support them to get the win here. Bordeaux generally been very good this season and despite three losses in their last four games, they were all against teams that finished in the last four years. They held their own in these two defeats, conceding just once, so we expect them to show the same good performance here against Dijon team who have failed to score in four of their last six away games. Bordeaux have won their last three games against Dijon nil so we support the home team won 2-0.
