Lille have not been enjoying the best of campaigns so far, sitting fourth on the log, a whopping ten points adrift second-placed Marseille. Apparently, it has not been business as usual for Les Dogues as they have failed to make their mark this season.

For all their struggles so far, they still stand a good chance of finishing in the Champions League places come the end of the season. Just two points shy of third-placed Rennes, a win against Dijon, with results elsewhere going their way, they could end the week within the top-three mix.

Expect an exciting and enthralling game between these two good footballing sides, with both sides grabbing a couple of goals in this fixture.

Dijon v Lille Team News

Dijon have fared pretty good so far, by their standards. For a side tipped by the bookmakers to get relegated at the end of the season, head coach Stephane Jobard can give his boys a pat on the back for their achievements so far.

Sitting 16^th on the standings, a whopping six points away from the drop zone, Les Rouges are currently exceeding pre-season expectations. They have amassed 18 points from 16 games so far in the French Ligue 1.

Last time out against Metz, Dijon were made to settle for a draw, with the scorecard reading 2-2. The result made it two league draws in a row for Jobard’s men.

Impressively, 13 of the host’s 16 points have come on home soil. You get the feeling that if this side manages to stay up this season, they will look back on their home performances as the catalyst behind the success.

They are also unbeaten in their last five games on this ground and have earned 11 points from a possible 15 in the process.

Lille, on the other hand, will be gunning for a win in this fixture, knowing fully well that a positive result against this foe could see them leapfrog Rennes into third place.

Christophe Galtier’s side had been on an impressive four-game winning run but saw that streak come to an abrupt by a rampant AS Monaco side. Monaco showed no mercy as they fired five goals past Lille, the latter managing to nick a single consolation goal.

Lille have been excellent in their home games, no doubt about that. However, their performances on the road this season have come in for serious scrutiny. They have lost 65% of their away games, winning just one so far.

The visiting contingent will be itching to return to winning ways following their 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Leonardo Jardim’s Monaco. Will they be able to recover from that humiliating loss against Dijon? Time will tell.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Dijon: Nayef Aguerd, Ngonda Muzinga, Senou Coulibaly.

Lille: Yusuf Yazici, Timothy Weah.

Dijon vs Lille Predictions

Lille head into this game as slight favourites to come away with the win. In terms of recent form, sheer talent and experience in the top-flight, Lille have the upper hand. However, they will have the away handicap to deal with this weekend coming up against a Dijon side, who have been dogged at home. A fierce encounter on the cards at Stade Gaston Gerard, a draw seems the safest punt, with both sides settling for a point.
