Dijon – Rennes : Preview & Prediction
Dijon will be desperate to finish a six-game winless streak at home (E2, P4), when they face Rennes, a team they have defeated on the two occasions they have seen each other in this venue. However, the hosts have the worst attack in home condition of Ligue 1 (L1) after averaging only 0.69 goals scored per game at home so far.
In addition, Dijon have won just three of their 16 home games in L1 this season (G3, E4, P9) and currently own the worst defensive record at home after allowing 1.56 goals per game average. To make matters worse, if he fails to beat Rennes here then it would be the first time in the history of the club that any team in Dijon has registered seven consecutive games without winning at home in L1.
His rival, Rennes, has not won in his last six away games in L1 (E2, P4) and the fact that they allowed the first goal in five of those crashes did not help much. In addition, the visitors have left their unbeaten goal in only two of their 16 games as visitors during this season of L1.
However, there is encouraging news for visiting fans asStade Rennais have scored in all but one of their 30 previous first division away games, but both teams have scored in 81.25% of Rennes’ away collisions in this L1 season.
Players to watch: Dijon’s top scorer, Júlio Tavares (three goals in L1) has not scored in his last 28 games in the top flight! Meanwhile, Rennes offensive midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa has scored seven goals in the league so far, including one in their previous meeting in December.
Statistics to consider: Dijon has not managed to score in half of their home games this season of L1 – the highest amount in the league.
Playing away from home, 40.28% of the shots on goal (72) allowed by Rennes ended in goals (29) – the second worst total of L1.
Each of the last three matches between the two in the first division in this area have ended with more than 1.5 goals in the first half.
