Dijon vs Lens Prediction & Betting tips
Does Lens climb into Ligue 1 or can Dijon celebrate relegation? This question will be finally answered next Sunday. After the first leg ended on Thursday with a 1-1 draw, the benefits seem to be slightly on the side of the current first division, as the table-18. last season in the Oberhaus in the second leg in front of their own fans may compete. Indeed, this could turn out to be a big plus as Dijon remained undefeated in their last four home games in Ligue 1 and even celebrated three wins in a row.
The fact is, however, that the guest from the north of France does not need to hide. Lens was able to prevail away in the first two rounds of promotion against counterparties from the same league away, although the progress against Paris and the victory against Troyes were fixed only after penalties or extra time. Therefore, it is quite surprising that in the second leg between Dijon and Lens, the odds of the bookmakers extremely fluctuate. Due to the quite positive results as well as the fact that the FCO is qualitatively certainly not worse off than RCL, we would be in the match Dijon vs. Lens tends to decide rather for a hint that the Kombouare team remains in the league.
Dijon:
For a long time it looked as if the Dijon Football Cote, or the bitter gait in the second division compete. After a 0-1 defeat on the 34th matchday in Caen, the red-whites fell in the ranking to the second to last place and would have been down to this fact. Thanks to two home successes against Strasbourg and Toulouse on the final four match days, however, the DFCO still climbed to 18th position and thus earned the chance to fix the relegation on the relegation. The chances are not bad before the second leg match next Sunday as the first leg away ended in a 1-1 draw. Substitute Koreans Chang-hun Kwon equalized in the 81st minute for the second-placed Lens side. Thus all trumps are in the east of the country.
In particular, the recent strong results against a home crowd make hope that the previous year’s Eleventh will continue to be an integral part of Ligue 1 for the fourth year in succession. When it came down to it and the team of Antoine Koumbare was required, Dijon convinced in front of their own fans and collected ten out of a possible twelve points from the past four games. If you consider that the Red-Whites previously brought in 15 home games a meager twelve counters, it is clear that the really quite talented team from the Department of Cote d’Or has the seriousness of the situation. Although the underclass team usually has the benefit of greater self-confidence and positive pressure on their side in promotion and relegation games, we would face the factors quality, home bonuses and experience in the upcoming second leg.
The bottom line is that between Dijon and Lens a forecast on the home win is not completely out of thin air. Players like Wesley Said, Julio Tavares, Chang-hun Kwon or Naim Sliti, we think, will make the difference on offense. Personally, Kombouare can draw almost from the full. Well-known failures are not known to us. The only exception is the absence of 18-year-old top talent Enzo Loiodice, who has been with the French youth team at the U20 World Cup since 23 May.
Lens:
It has been four years since the Racing Club de Lens was last in the French House of Lords. At that time, the yellow-blue rose, however, as a table last sang- and soundless again. In total, the 1998 champion spent seven of the youngest eight seasons in Ligue 2 that the traditional club in the medium term, the return to the concert of the great planned, sounds little surprising. The fact that the team of Coach Montanier after 14th place last year, however, already in the current season has the opportunity to return to Ligue 1, came a bit unexpected for many experts.
Thanks to the maximum yield of nine points on the final three match days Lens still jumped to fifth place and still had to complete two more matches against Paris FC and Troyes to qualify for the relegation matches. Both against Paris and against Troyes, the “Sang et Or” profited from a good deal of luck, because after 90 minutes there had been a draw in both games. Together with the 1: 1 from the first leg waiting for the current second division, whose squad is about only one-third as much as that of the opponent from Dijon, accordingly for three official games on a win. Self-confidence has thus suffered a bit and the self-image of celebrating the ascent on Sunday evening has given way to a realistic assessment. However, the resulting reduced pressure may lead to a performance increase in the crucial second leg.
Incidentally, from a purely statistical point of view, it is not entirely comprehensible that Dijon Vs. Lens turn down the odds in favor of the guests. “Blood and Gold”, the club’s martial nickname, won just seven out of 19 away games in Ligue 2 and scored one of the least dangerous offensive lines in the league table, scoring 19 goals. To make matters worse, with Maadri an attacker will fail due to a fibula fracture. The hopes of scoring rest almost exclusively on the shoulders of Yannick Gomis, who, however, with 16 hits and six assists during the regular season also provided numerous reasons.
