The danger of relegation is well and apparent for Le Mans and Dijon Bourgogne. After a string of defeats in the last five games, both clubs are perilously close to the drop zone. Despite starting the Ligue Nationale de Basket (LNB) Pro A season in positive fashion, Dijon have been sucked into the relegation battle in the last few weeks.

The match between Dijon Bourgogne vs Le Mans will kick-off at 19:30 on May 2 at Palais des Sports Jean-Michel Geoffroy (Dijon).

Victories against Olympique Antibes and CSP Limoges seemed to place the team in a comfortable position, but the team has since suffered three consecutive losses. Le Mans may appear relatively safe in the mid-table position, but they have managed just two wins since February.

Dijon Bourgogne vs Le Mans Basket Preview

Dijon come into the game with a positive record against Le Mans in the last five matches. The team has managed to 3 wins in these games, but a closer look reveals a different story. Le Mans have been able to win two of the last three encounters in the Pro A. This places Le Mans as a strong contender in the Dijon Bourgogne vs Le Mans Basket predictions, but their overall form is rather poor. They have suffered a defeat in the last five games without exception. Furthermore, one has to go back to the middle of January in order to witness their last away success. Home advantage is certainly a major boost for Dijon, who have suffered just one defeat in the last five home games.

Dijon Bourgogne vs Le Mans Basket odds from major bookmakers like Betfair clearly favour the home team. Dijon are expected to be backed at around 1.8 for a win.
