There’s action from the French top flight on Tuesday night and a clash between Dijon and Marseille as the betting tips continue at the Stade Gaston-Gérard.
Dijon Prediction – Can Dijon lift off bottom of Ligue 1?
Dijon currently sit bottom of the French top flight with just 1 point to their name after what has been a terrible start to the new Ligue 1 season for the hosts, losing 5 of their first 6 matches of the new campaign.
Defeats so far this season to Saint-Etienne, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Angers and Nice certainly haven’t done the hosts any favours in these opening weeks of the new domestic top flight season, and and having won just 4 of their last 23 matches overall in Ligue 1, it looks like being another tough evening at the office for Dijon.
The home side are also still without a home win so far this season after three matches played at their Stade Gaston-Gérard which have resulted in back-to-back defeats to Saint-Etienne and Bordeaux in 2-1 and 2-0 losses respectively, but they did manage to hold out for a point in a dour 0-0 stalemate with Nimes last time out on home turf.
However, 3 home wins out of their last 12 matches in Ligue 1 suggest Dijon will struggle again tonight, especially as they’ve lost all 4 of the previous meetings at home on the trot against tonight’s visitors, Marseille.
Marseille Prediction – Can Marseille move up into 2nd spot?
Well, Marseille may not get a better opportunity to grab another three points on the road than at a beleaguered Dijon on Tuesday night as the visitors look to extend their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 to 6 matches overall, and in turn lift themselves up into 2nd place.
Recent victories against Nice, Saint-Etienne and Monaco along with points picked up against Nantes and Montpellier have helped Marseille into their current spot of 5th place in Ligue 1, but a win on Tuesday night would see the visitors replace Angers into 2nd spot.
Results away from home have also been promising for Marseille who still remain unbeaten on their travels in this new Ligue 1 season, with an early away record of 2-1-0 6/4 which includes wins at Nice and Monaco, with 2-1 and 4-3 victories respectively.
The bigger picture tells us that Marseille are unbeaten in their last 6 away matches in Ligue 1 and together with their historic dominance over Tuesday night’s hosts, Dijon, the visitors must surely be eyeing off all three points in this encounter.
Key-Facts – Dijon v Marseille
- Dijon have won just 3 of their last 12 home matches in Ligue 1
- Marseille are unbeaten in their last 6 away matches in Ligue 1
- Marseille have won all 4 of the previous away matches at Dijon
Betting Tips Verdict
Despite home advantage, it looks like being a tough night for Dijon as Marseille have produced some solid displays of late and have added incentive of moving up into 2nd spot.
