Prediction: 0-2
Montpellier
After suffering back-to-back defeats to the likes of Rennes and Saint-Etienne, Dijon will be looking to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they host Montpellier at their Stade Gaston-Gerard. The Mustards sit in the relegation zone ahead of Saturday’s football game, but it is well known that they are tough to beat at home. Montpellier, on the other hand, are eyeing a place in European competitions, meaning that this game is of big importance for the visitors. La Paillade did well to beat Monaco at Stade Louis II in their last league fixture and seeing that Dijon suffered a dip in form, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in the Stade Gaston-Gerard clash. Taking everything into account, we predict that Montpellier are going to put an end to their six-game winless run in meetings with Dijon.

Highlighted Team (Montpellier):
Over the years Montpellier have established themselves as a mid-table side in French Ligue 1. Montpellier are considered one of the youngest clubs in France as they were founded in 1974, but it has to be noted that a number of high-profile footballers played for the club in the past. French football legend Laurent Blanc played for Montpellier from 1981-1993 and he scored 76 goals in 24 appearances in the league for the club. Eric Cantona, Roger Milla, Carlos Valderama and Olivier Giroud played in Montpellier’s colors as well, but Pascal Baills is the player with most appearances for the club (429).
La Paillade did remarkably well to win the Ligue 1 trophy in 2012 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Montpellier won Coupe de France on two occasions (1929, 1990), with the team beating FC Sete and FC Paris respectively in the title games. The team welcome their rivals at Stade de la Mosson and the capacity of the stadium is 32.900. In 1999 Montpellier won the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
