Dijon vs Angers Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Dijon v Angers
France – Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, August 22, 2024
Start at 16pm UK / 17pm CET
Venue: Stade Gaston Gerard.

The two clubs struggled at times last season, with Dijon managing to survive in Ligue 1, so they will look to start on a positive note when they host Angers.

This season marks only Dijon's 23rd place finish in its history. Dijon had a mixed pre-season, beating Ligue 2 Paris FC 2-0, but also lost 2-1 to Metz. The last game ended with a 1-0 defeat at Lens and in the last 3 games they only managed to score 1 goal.

Angers are becoming regulars in Ligue 1 and the new season means the club has spent the last six seasons in the top flight. Last season they had their ups and downs but managed to finish 11th which is respectable for them.

Stephane Moulin will once again take the reins of the team, he has been coach since 2011, which at the moment is remarkable. The club tried to strengthen itself by bringing in Paul Bernardoni from Bordeaux for €8m.

Angers had a mixed pre-season but managed to go the last 3 games unbeaten which would have been encouraging. In the last game, they defeated Saint Etienne by 1-0.

Dijon vs Angers: Prediction

Angers are the better team but we have to be careful as this is the start of the season. Angers had a real attacking style last season and have entered the transfer market and will want to improve on last season. There were rumors about playing European football. Dijon's objectives can be different with survival as the name of the game. We hope this game is over, but we will go to the visiting side to add the three points here.
