Rennes to win at Dijon on Friday night

Rennes to win at Dijon on Friday night

On Friday night, Dijon host Rennes at the Stade Gaston-Gerard in Ligue One, as the home side look to move clear of the relegation zone.

Dijon are just three points above the relegation zone in the French top-flight after a poor run of form. In fact, they have failed to win in their last four league games suffering three defeats, including last time out when they lost 3-2 at Strasbourg.

Dijon’s recent games in Ligue One have at least offered entertainment value, as nine of their last ten games in the league have produced over 2.5 goals.

Olivier Dall’Oglio’s team have a decent recent home record in Ligue One, as they are unbeaten in six outings on home soil in the league.

A 1-1 draw with Metz in their last home game in the league ended a five-game winning run on home soil for the home side. They have also been prolific on home soil in Ligue One of late, as they have scored three or more goals in four of their last five home outings.

Rennes are currently eighth place in the table. However, a big win in this clash could see the visitors move up to fifth-place in the table.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side have been in inconsistent form of late, as they have won their last two games, having previously suffered three straight defeats. Last time out the visitors recorded a 1-0 win over Angers.

The Angers game was not a norm for Rennes, though, as their recent Ligue One games have been high scoring with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings in the French top-flight.

The visitor’s away form has been mixed of late, as they have won three, drawn one and lost two of their last six league games on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Rennes will come out on top in this clash and move into Ligue One’s top-six.
