Match Preview

Ahead of our Dijon vs Saint Etienne preview from Ligue 1 predictions, both sides have had the misfortune of playing some strong teams in the opening weeks of the season, upsetting their chances to build some early-season momentum.

Only Monaco have managed to take three points from any of Dijon’s last five games at home in Ligue 1, but the hosts then bounced back with a victory on their own patch versus Montpellier.

Our Dijon vs Saint Etienne predictions, therefore, are made with the confidence that the hosts should have already put their 4-1 thrashing by the reigning league champions behind them.

Benjamin Jeannot already has two goals to his name for the season for Dijon, but it is at the back where they need to tighten up a little, especially as the visitors only have scoring trouble against the big two.

Saint Etienne have lost three of their last four matches on the road, however, with that record sure to give the hosts plenty of confidence that they can make it four from five,due to the latest football odds.

Dijon vs Saint Etienne Prediction and Betting Advice

The away side lost resoundingly 3-0 to PSG during their last away jaunt, with Nancy managing to end last Ligue 1 season by beating Saint Etienne 3-1. They could be quite vulnerable.

Florent Balmont will be key in midfield for the hosts, as they look to try and pull themselves away from the embryonic stages of a relegation battle. As it stands, they are one of the three teams on four points - only ahead of rock-bottom Metz.

Dijon are desperate to try and pick up a positive result, as the Ligue 1 season hasn’t bore them many points thus far. Their home form will be vital this season, but they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet during their two attempts in 2017/2018.

The hosts have found the back of the net against Monaco and Montpellier this season - but so have their opponents. What’s more, Saint Etienne have conceded eight goals in their last four away fixtures.

Our Dijon vs Saint Etienne picks are based on Saint Etienne’s away form, as well as the fact that the home team need to get another win on the board at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard to ease any pressure on their shoulders.
