Tips for Dijon vs Strasbourg betting
Dijon is really sad this season and although it seems they will run a little when they beat Lyon (3-1) and Rennes (3-2) in April, they have since returned to being the very bad side that got them in this mess . They sit 19th in the league, two points from Caen who are in the performance of a relegation play-off place, and if they can't get a win here, they face a very steep climb to go up to stay in the league.
They have lost their last two matches with Nantes beating them 3-0 after relegation rivals Caen won a narrow 1-0 victory over Burgundy club. This is a defeat that greatly weakens the spirit of Dijon and is probably the last nail in Mustard's coffin. They have only kept one clean sheet in their last 14 matches and although their last two home games have been wins and draws, we have seen them qualify from Ligue 1 this season.
Strasbourg have never been at their best for the past few weeks and may be a good target for Dijon. They were winless in their last five matches and conceded nine goals at that time, making them four draws and losing at the hands of Montpellier (1-3). They were poor again last week when they drew with Marseille. They are governed in terms of ownership and do not manage even one corner.
Thierry Laurey will hope for better performance from his players in Dijon but with nothing really fought for, complacency may seep into Alsatians. They have not won their last seven away matches which might hold them back, with four draws and three defeats not making it the desired form to enter this match.
With this statistic, Dijon might have a chance but with their season diminishing by the minute, we supported a 2-1 victory for Strasbourg. Four of the last five clashes have seen more than 2.5 goals and both teams scored so we support that to happen again in the match that we deem appropriate to Strasbourg's wishes. Alsatians have won four of their last five matches with Dijon and we hope they will do it again.
predictions for this Ligue 1 match:
Dijon struggled to avoid relegation to Ligue 2. Mustard suffered consecutive defeats from Caen and Nantes in the previous two league matches, but it must be noted that they faced both teams on the road. Dijon was eager to take all three points from Saturday's football match against Strasbourg and saw that Le Racing was stuck in the middle of the Ligue 1 standings, we did not believe they would ruin Dijon's party at the Stade Gaston-Gerard.
Le Racing, on the other hand, ran five games without a win at the national championship and saw that they had little to play at the end of the season, we believe that there was great value in betting on the hosts, who were determined to avoid relegation to the French second tier.
