Dijon FCO
- Dijon FCO have won three of their last five matches (W3, D1, L1), and have not won their last home game against Bourg-Peronnas.
- Baptiste Ridira has overseen an impressive campaign so far at Dijon FCO after taking the reins in July 2024.
- The 4-1-3-2 structure of his side has been a patient, possession-based system, which dictates the tempo of the game with a strong, controlled build-up, before progressing the ball vertically into attack.
- The hosts have won seven, drawn four, and lost just one of their 12 home games in National 2025/2026.
Bourg-Peronnas
- David Le Frapper’s Bourg-Peronnas have been a lot less solid, winning just three of their 14 away games in National 2025/2026 (W3, D3, L8).
- They’ll set up in a 3-4-1-2 system on Friday, a compact shape which prioritises defensive organisation, and relies on the wing-backs and the number 10 to provide thrust on the break.
- They’ve struggled for goals on the road this season, averaging just 0.79 scored per-game in National 2025/2026, while letting in 1.36 per-game.
Head-to-Head
The visitors have won this head-to-head once and lost once in National 2025/2026, and they will not make things easy for the home side this time around.
Key Players
- Benjamin Besic leads the line for Bourg-Peronnas, scoring seven goals in 24 National 2025/2026 appearances.
- Julien Domingues is Dijon’s main outlet going forward, scoring ten National 2025/2026 goals in just 25 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Dijon FCO come into this game as clear favorites, at odds of 1.3.
- Over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.81, while Both Teams to Score - Yes is 2.2.
Prediction
- Dijon should have too much firepower and are likely to break through Le Frapper’s compact block with their patient build-up play.
- I think that the two sides will both score here, but Dijon’s impressive home record in National 2025/2026, and superb overall campaign should see them through this contest.
