By their standards, Dijon were impressive last season, finishing 16^th on the standings. The club supporters were ecstatic to have escaped relegation and quite rightly so. They did not put a single foot wrong throughout the campaign.

With bragging rights gained over relegated Amiens and Toulouse, Les Hiboux must have enjoyed dishing out some bants over the summer to rival fans. A new season is already underway, and Jobard must now mastermind another successful Ligue 1 survival battle.

Dijon vs Rennes Team News

Beginning the new season in such disastrous fashion, Dijon have emerged as early favorites for relegation from the French top-flight. Only six fixtures gone by, pressure have already begun mounting on Jobard’s shoulders.

The French gaffer seems to have lost control of his dressing room with some of the club’s senior players revolting against him. Sitting rock-bottom on the table, Les Hiboux have picked up a single point so far – one fought off Montpellier in a 2-2 stalemate.

With that result in mind, Dijon must have headed into their previous game against Bordeaux, hoping to pull off another upset. However, they were comfortably put to the sword, the opposing number firing three unanswered goals past them.

The Hiboux faithful will be hoping the international break has provided Jobard some time to re-evaluate his squad, in a bid to get them back on the right track. Unfortunately for Dijon, the fixture schedule has proven unkind, handing them a difficult match against Rennes on Friday.

There couldn’t be a worse game to pile on the misery for these ones. Rennes have begun the season in enviable fashion, amassing a whopping 13 points from six games to rise to the top of the standings. Les Rennais are a side on a mission!

Grinding out impressive results every matchday, PSG will be frightened as they find their Ligue 1 dominance under threat from Jobard’s charges. Rennes are yet to suffer defeat in any of their matches so far, winning four and sharing the spoils in the other two.

There were honors even at the Stade de la Route de Lorient on the last matchday as Rennes were held to a 2-2 draw by tricky side Reims. Expect a rousing response from the Red and Blacks in this coming fixture, as they look to bounce back from that disappointing matchday six result.

Dijon vs Rennes Predictions

This Ligue 1 game will see top side Rennes lock horns with basement club Dijon. With a number of injuries and suspensions hampering Dijon, they are likely to be far from their utmost best here. Stephan will be forced to play some of his fringe players.

However, they will still feel pretty confident ahead of this fixture, given Dijon are in a rut. We cannot see past a win for Rennes come full-time.
