Dijon vs Angers Prediction & Betting tips
On Saturday afternoon, Dijon will face Angers in the first game of the new season. Does the team from the mustard city know how to start the new season well in-house?
Dijon:
Dijon, the number sixteen of last season, has had a mediocre preparation. In the past month, practice has taken place against Paris FC, Sochaux, Metz and RC Lens, who all played their matches in Ligue 2 last season, but Stéphane Jobard’s side only won once. In the last three games, there were two losses and one draw, so the team from the mustard city will not have too much confidence at the start of the new season.
Jobard will have to arrive with a completely different line-up for next Saturday than in the last game of the previous season. Left back Hamza Mendyl has returned to Schalke 04 and left central defender Nayef Aguerd has made the switch to Stade Rennais for around five million euros. There are also the necessary changes in the vanguard: attacker Stephy Mavididi has returned to Juventus, while Jhonder Cádiz has returned to Benfica. It is to be hoped for Jobard that his technical director will again be able to convince such young talents to play for les Moutards this season, otherwise Jobard and his team could face another tough season.
Angers:
Angers has played no fewer than seven exhibition matches in the last month to prepare well. The first five times that led to a victory only once, but recently they won 3-2 against second division Le Mans and last week a 1-0 victory was also booked against AS Saint-Étienne. With the form, it seems to sit well with the number eleven of last season. Nevertheless, les Scoists will have to be on their guard, as they won only three times in thirteen away games last season.
Compared to last season, no strong holders have left, while with goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni on paper a new strong holder was brought in. The 23-year-old French youth international has made a strong impression at Nîmes Olympique in the past two seasons and this season may compete with 37-year-old Ludovic Butelle, who has defended the goal of Les Scoestes for two and a half years. So far, no major transfer has been reported to Angers, giving Moulin the opportunity to work with almost the same group of players.
