Metz – Dijon

Metz host Dijon in what promises to be a tightly contested Ligue 2 clash, with the hosts sitting fifth on 9 points after two wins and three draws, boasting a solid 8‑4 goal difference. Dijon, meanwhile, occupy 13th place with six points from one victory, three draws and two defeats, their defensive frailties reflected in a negative 8‑9 tally. The two sides have already met earlier in the season, a stalemate that underscored their evenly matched strengths, and both will be keen to turn the balance in their favour this time around. A win for Metz could cement a top‑four push, while Dijon will be desperate for three points to climb out of the lower half of the table.
