Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Rarely have matches been about defences, but in this game, where Dijon are welcoming Nimes at the Stade Gaston-Gerard, it might just come down to who concedes less goals. Dijon are 17th in the table, while Nimes are 16th. Dijon have the fourth worst defence in the league, while Nimes have the second worst defence. With three wins in the first three games for Dijon and two in two for Nimes, both teams started the season well but have then been in bad form. Dijon have earned only two points in the last eight matches and have lost the last four games at home. Nimes have drawn five and lost four out of their last nine encounters, earning just five points. Dijon have the advantage in their head to head meetings, winning four of the last ten, and losing only two. That might just be enough for them to get a much needed win in this match.
