Dijon
Sunday’s football game at Stade de la Beaujoire pits together Nantes and Dijon, the two bottom-table sides. Nantes failed to win the previous four league fixtures, but it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course in the Ligue 1. Boss Christian Gourcuff is likely to make changes to the starting XI that suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Strasbourg, with all Chirivella, Coco, Louza, and Ndilu pushing for a start.
The Owls, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table, with the team collecting only 8 points from possible 39. The rock-bottom side failed to impress in a goalless draw with Saint Etienne, and seeing that Nantes are desperate to return to winning ways, home win should be considered. Dijon defender Fouad Chafik returns to the starting line-up after serving his ban against les Verts.

Highlighted Player (Kalifa Coulibaly):
Kalifa Coulibaly is a Malian international who began his senior career at Paris Saint-Germain B. After spending four years at Parc des Princes, he moved to Charleroi in 2014 and the Malian striker scored seven goals in 31 league appearances for the Belgian outfit.
At the end of the season he left the club, signing a contract with Gent and he has been playing for De Buffalo’s ever since. Kalifa Coulibaly made his Gent debut on 9 August, 2015 in a 1-1 draw with Anderlecht. He scored four goals in 24 league games for the club in the 2015/2016 season, picking up just one yellow card in the process.
Coulibaly made his Mali debut on 15 October, 2013 in a 3-1 win over South Korea. He started the match from the bench, substituting Ousmane Coulibaly in the second half of the game. His contract with Gent expires on 30 June, 2019. Coulibaly’s main position is centre forward.
Highlighted Team (Dijon):
Founded in 1998, Dijon is a result of a merger between two local clubs. The Mustards played their first ever match in the Ligue 1 on August 7, 2011, with the team suffering a heavy 5-1 loss on their debut in the French top flight. After suffering relegation to Ligue 2 at the end of the 2011/2012 season, the club returned to the French elite division in 2016.
The Mustards finished the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign in 16th place in the standings, only one point clear of the relegation zone. Dijon are well known for their red jerseys, while they wear white when playing on the road. The Mustards welcome their rivals at Stade Gaston Gerard, the venue which was both built and opened in 1934. In the 1998/1999 season the club recorded a historical 12-1 Coupe de France win over Mahault Baie and that is considered the club’s biggest ever win in a competitive match.
Stephane Mangione, who made 181 appearances for the club, is regarded as one of the team’s famous players.
