Dijon FCO
- Dijon's home record stands at 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats in all competitions, which means they have hardly got the home crowd back on board.
- Dijon FCO are slight favorites for this match at 1.95, with Stade Laval priced at 3.5 and the draw 3.7, which seems all wrong to us.
- Les Rouges have been as inconsistent as a computer printer in recent weeks, and they have to be passed over at these odds on the basis of their last 10 performances in all competitions.
- Baptiste Ridira has built Dijon on the back of possession control, a high press when the ball is lost and a flexible 4-4-2 diamond formation that can be adapted into a 4-3-3.
- This has all the makings of a chess match rather than a chaotic affair and Dijon have scored only six goals in their last five home games in all competitions, which tells us they are blunt in the attacking third.
Stade Laval
- The visitors arrive at Municipal Gaston Gerard on the back of consecutive defeats to Grenoble (0-3) and Red Star (0-2), which is a real worry.
- Les Tango have won three, drawn three and lost four of their last 10 matches in all competitions, which is a very average return that reflects where they are in the Ligue 2 table.
- Vignes' men have won only one, drawn two and lost two of their five away games in all competitions, which is another set of mediocre numbers.
Key Players
Samy Chouchane is Dijon's highest Ligue 2 scorer this term with two goals in five , while he has scored two of their last five across all comps.
Betting Insights
- The odds on both teams to score (BTTS) is 1.67 for this Ligue 2 2026-2027 fixture at Municipal Gaston Gerard, France.

Prediction
But we're going to chance a win for Les Rouges here because they are better than Laval and have a goal scorer in form.
