Nimes vs Dijon Prediction & Betting tips
The competition match between Nîmes Olympique and Dijon on Wednesday evening can rightly be called a cellar cracker. Dijon, the number seventeen in the rankings, can increase the lead over Nîmes Olympique, the number nineteen in the rankings, to nine points in a win, but the home team can also make the relegation battle exciting again with a win.
Nimes Olympique:
At home, Nîmes Olympique seemed to be having a tough time last Saturday evening at AS Monaco, which already took a 1-0 lead within fifteen minutes, but nothing proved less true. Florian Miguel quickly put his team back on the same level with his first goal at the highest level before the Monegasken grabbed two unnecessary red cards after just over half an hour. In the remainder of the match, Les Crocodiles had little to fear from AS Monaco and it was easy to win 3-1. Meanwhile, Bernard Blaquart’s team has approached the number eighteen, Amiens, to one point, but the gap in the safe seventeenth place is still great with six points.
With two victories in the last three home games, it looks like the home form of Nîmes Olympique is good, but looking at the bigger picture that’s not so bad. In-house, Crocodiles only achieved fourteen points this season, something that only Amiens and Toulouse failed this season. In away games, the Blaquart team already performs quite dramatically with four points from eleven away games, but there seems to be no question of a home advantage in the Stade des Costières. Compared to last season, no less than 0.4 points less are caught in home games, a decline of more than 25% and perhaps the difference between relegation and retention at the end of the season.
Dijon:
Dijon booked an important win at home in Stade Brestois in the relegation battle last weekend. Mama Baldé already scored twice within twenty minutes and a goal in the final phase of Stephy Mavididi eventually won 3-0. The team from the mustard city thus managed to remain unbeaten for the fourth time in the last five league games and now has a five-point lead over the relegation line. The Stéphane Jobard team is expecting a tough program in the coming weeks, so that certainly in the event of a defeat on Wednesday evening, that lead can disappear like snow in the sun.
Together with Toulouse, Dijon lost the most away games in the Ligue 1 this season, namely eight. In the last six away games, the team from the mustard city only scored once and Dijon also had a hard time in away games against second-class Valenciennes and fifth-class Limonest in the Coupe de France. In the competition only a visit to Stade Reims was won and more often than not the Jobard team was the underlying party in an away game. Last season, Dijon also performed dramatically in away games, and then twelve points from nineteen away games were finally achieved, but this season the team from the mustard city is on schedule for only nine points in away games.
