Dijon vs Marseille Prediction & Betting tips
In the past three seasons, Olympique Marseille did not lose a single league game against Dijon. Will Dijon manage to break with this trend on Tuesday?
Dijon:
Two rounds ago, Dijon finally took the first point of the season by drawing 0-0 against Nîmes Olympique and last weekend the team from the mustard city against Olympique Nice showed the intention not to lose for the second game in a row. With a goal from Júlio Tavares, Stéphane Jobard’s team quickly took the lead, but then Les Moutards soon gave up their lead and eventually lost 2-1. Despite the defeat of his team, Jobard was not dissatisfied with his team’s game: “We played reasonably well, but we are also quite frustrated because we have to grab points if we want to prevent relegation. We are doing our best, but that is not good yet enough.”
Against Olympique Nice, Dijon came on the scoreboard for the second time this season and the lack of goals is one of the biggest problems for the mustard city team. Last season les Moutards already disappointed with only 31 goals in the entire season and compared to last season only one player is playing in Dijon who scored at least twice last season, namely Júlio Tavares. This season, Tavares has scored both of his team’s goals, but if the Cape Verdean striker alone is responsible for his team’s goal production, that is not a good omen, as with an average of one goal in four games, Tavares is not an uncontested goal getter.
Olympique Marseille:
Unlike Dijon, Olympique Marseille managed to score a point last weekend by a 1-1 draw in the home game against Montpellier, but nevertheless André Villas-Boas was not happy with the result: “It’s a shame, because we played a good game After the early goal against, Montpellier only defended and we struggled through it. ” To make matters worse, Villas-Boas saw both Boubacar Kamara and Dmitri Payet take a red card during the injury time, which allowed the Portuguese coach to puzzle quite a bit about his starting eleven against Dijon.
At the forefront, the Marzilians still have to do without Florian Thauvin until at least the end of this calendar year, but in the upcoming games the team also has a problem in the defensive field. Central defender Alvaro Gonzalez was injured against Montpellier and has been out of circulation for at least a month, while his partner in the center of defense, Boubacar Kamara, will have to miss some matches due to a suspension. It is obvious that the Croatian Duje Caleta-Car will once again have playing time, but it is not yet clear who will stand next to him in the heart of the defense.
