On Friday evening, Dijon host Rennes at the Stade Gaston-Gerard, as the home side look to move clear of the relegation spots in the French top-flight.
Dijon are currently in the relegation play-off spot, seven points from safety, but only one point above the bottom two in Ligue One.
The home team has actually picked up four points from a possible six in Ligue One. Last time out, they drew 0-0 with Amiens. The game saw the home side fail to score for the third time in four league games.
Their struggles to score goals has led to three of their last four Ligue One outings producing under 2.5 goals.
One of the biggest factors in Dijon’s perilous position in the French top-flight is their league form, as they have failed to win in six league outings, suffering four defeats in the process. They have also failed to score in four of their last five outings in Ligue One.
Rennes have endured a poor recent run of results in the French top-flight, which has left the visitors trailing the European spots by ten points. In fact, the visitors have failed to win in their last five away games in the French top-flight. Last time out, they drew 0-0 with Nice.
Rennes have been poor on their travels of late, as they have failed to win in their last six away games in the French top-flight, suffering four defeats in the process.
Defensive struggles have been at the heart of their poor recent away form, as they have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six outings on their travels in Ligue One.
Dijon are in desperate need of the victory in this clash. However, their recent form does not suggest that’s going to happen. Forebet predicts that Rennes will end their travel sickness by recording a victory in a high scoring encounter.
