Lille to continue their strong campaign at Dijon
2353

This season’s Ligue One campaign could be fascinating due to the fact there might actually be a title race, instead of PSG running away with the league title. Their main rivals at this early stage of the season are Lille, who are currently above the reigning champions by a point. Lyon are also a point above the Parisians.

LOSC could consolidate their position as top dogs in the French top-flight by recording a victory at Dijon on Wednesday evening.

Dijon head into this clash bottom of the Ligue One table, having picked up just nine points from their opening 14 league outings.

Despite their lowly position in the Ligue One table, the home team heads into this clash on the back of a three-game unbeaten run in the French top-flight. A 1-1 draw at Nantes last time out was a second straight draw for the home team.

Dijon have failed to win in their last seven home matches in Ligue One, although four of their last five home matches have finished in draws.

Lille have carried last season’s positive form into this campaign, with Christophe Gaultier’s team sitting top, but only above second-place Lyon courtesy of goal difference.

The visitor's recent form has been good, as they are unbeaten in four league games, having recorded three wins in the process. A 2-1 home win over Bordeaux last time out means that Lille have now scored at least two goals in four of their last five outings in the French top-flight.

A player who has played a key role in their attacking efforts this season has been Turkish forward Burak Yilmaz, who has scored six times in his 13 Ligue One appearances since arriving on a free transfer from Besiktas on a free transfer.

Forebet predicts that Lille will continue their promising form by recording a victory in a relatively low-scoring encounter.
