Just one point separates Dijon and Nancy in the Ligue 1 standings, with the former currently occupying the relegation play-off place, while the visitors are second-favourite to face the drop at the end of the campaign.
Only a win is good enough for either side, which should make for a fairly cagey game at first according to our Dijon vs Nancy preview, with much of urgency needed to take a vital three points in the fight to stay in the French top flight.
- Monaco 2-1 Dijon
- Dijon 3-2 Angers
- Dijon 0-0
- Guingamp 4-0 Dijon
Dijon have taken four points from their last six at State Geston-Gerard, with a third consecutive positive result required to give them a fighting chance of surviving the drop, which has an influence on our Dijon vs Nancy predictions.
The away side, meanwhile, have lost their last seven consecutive away games in the league, scoring in just two of those games. Their travels have been a major reason behind their relegation-threatened situation.
- Nice 3-1 Nancy
- Nancy 0-0 Marseille
- Metz 2-1 Nancy
- Nancy 0-3 Monaco
Nancy’s home form has picked up recently, although not enough to get any points against Monaco last time out, with Dijon looking likely to take all three points against one of the division’s worst travellers.
Given that the away side struggle to hit the back of the net, while the hosts need three points in front of their own fans to stand any chance of fighting their way out of the relegation play-off, a home win makes up our Dijon vs Nancy picks.
