MATCH PREVIEW
Bordeaux host Dijon in a Saturday evening Ligue 1 (L1) encounter. Both teams are fighting in the middle of the Ligue 1 (L1) standings going into this round 35 encounter, and just a single point separates them. |
After two straight wins against Lille at home (2-1) and away to Montpellier (3-1), Bordeaux bravely lost 1-0 at home to L1 champions PSG last Sunday. Because of this home loss, Gustavo Poyet’s men have slipped to 11th place – seven points adrift of a Europa League qualification spot. |
Following a good draw away to Nantes two weeks days ago (1-1), Dijon were trounced 5-2 at home by high-flying Lyon last weekend. Currently stuck in 12th place ahead of this round, Olivier Dall’Oglio and his team have already secured their place in L1 for next season. |
In three previous meetings at Stade Matmut-Atlantique in all competitions, Bordeaux have won two and the other one finished as a draw. Having never lost a single home game against Dijon, the ‘Girondins’ have a distinct psychological advantage. |
Clashes between these two sides are usually high scoring affairs – three of the last four meetings in all competitions having produced more than 2.5 goals (total). |
Players to watch: Bordeaux’s 21-year-old Guinean striker Francois Kamano has six goals and four assists in L1 – he has also scored three goals in his last three matches. |
He will go head-to-head with Dijon’s Tunisian striker Naïm Sliti who has five goals and five assists so far this season – he has also scored his team’s last two goals. |
Stat attack: Dijon have won only two of their last 25 away L1 games (W2, D9, L14). |
With 66 goals conceded in 34 matches so far, Dijon also have the worst defence in the league. |
