Dijon – Montpellier

Dijon host Montpellier in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table, with the home side sitting 13th on six points after one win, three draws and two defeats, having scored eight and conceded nine. Montpellier, perched in third place with eleven points from three victories, two draws and a single loss, enter the game with a modest +1 goal difference (five for, four against). The gap in points and form suggests the visitors will look to extend their push for the top spots, while Dijon will be desperate to turn their modest goal tally into a vital win and climb out of the relegation zone. Historically the two clubs have met several times, but Montpellier’s recent superiority in the standings gives them a psychological edge heading into the encounter.
