Dijon v Lyon
France Ligue 1
Date: Saturday, August 27th
Start: 16pm UK
Venue: Stade Gaston Gerard (Dijon).

Newly promoted Dijon, who were so strong in Ligue 2, came back down to earth shortly after their first Ligue 1 matches, where they lost both. The good news is that they have yet to suffer a major defeat, losing by the same goal line 1-0 to Nantes and Lille respectively.

However, this home game against Lyon represents a big test for the club. Lyon is in first place with two wins and has scored 5 goals in the first two matches and has yet to concede a goal. The visitors will be the big favorites to create more suffering for the home team.

Lyon have among their ranks one of the best talents up front, Alexandre Lacazette, linked to a signing by Arsenal; this has yet to materialize and the striker has scored all 5 of Lyon's goals so far. A remarkable achievement.

Dijon v Lyon: head to head

Dijon has only been in formation for 18 years, so these two teams have only met twice in their history. On both occasions we saw Lyon wins, one by 3-1 and the other by 2-1. The clubs haven't met in four years. It is interesting to note for sponsors that each time we saw at least 3 goals and both teams managed to score.

Dijon v Lyon: prediction

In short, Lyon should win this game and any other result would be seen as a shock. But Dijon will do everything possible to make this game interesting and it will be an honor to play against Lyon. We should see a tight and tense game that will lead to goals and then we will see spaces and Dijon will get tired as the game goes on.

Dijon v Lyon: tips

• Lyon win with 5/6
• Both teams will score 4/5
