Montpellier HSC
- Montpellier are the more possession-based side, Dijon are the more direct.
- Montpellier HSC are the favorites for the game at 1.9, with the visitors available at 4.0 and the draw 3.4, but Zoumana Camara's side are not as ruthless as they might be with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5.
- Montpellier like to dominate possession and utilise their 4-2-3-1 to progress the ball through the thirds quickly, before the counter-press is deployed to try and win it back immediately.
- Montpellier have scored 7 goals in their last 5 home matches.
Dijon FCO
- Dijon are the 'in-form' team with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 5 matches.
- Baptiste Ridira's side are a little more pragmatic and less possession-based as they pack players behind the ball and engage in the physical battle in the midfield.
- Dijon, who Ridira has been in charge of since 1 July 2024, will look to spring forward on the counter-attack and are clearly the hotter of the two sides coming into this contest.
- Dijon have 3 wins and 1 loss from four away games across all competitions, so it seems unlikely that they will roll over in this clash, but Montpellier must still be the most likely winners at home.
Key Players
That said, the visitors do have some away bite with an average of 1.25 away goals per game this term and Julien Domingues , who has been involved in four of the last seven Dijon goals over the past five matches, looks the man most likely to cause the hosts problems on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- Montpellier HSC are the favorites for the game at 1.9, with the visitors available at 4.0 and the draw 3.4.
- Backing both teams to score at 1.85 looks a live option here, while under 2.5 goals at 1.73 seems a fit for a potentially tight, tactical battle.
- The visitors' average of 1.25 away goals per game gives them a realistic attacking edge on the break.
Prediction
- Dijon FCO are the 'in-form' side heading into Saturday's Ligue 2 2026-2027 clash at Stade de la Mosson, as they have collected 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 10 in all competitions, but this one could be closer than the odds suggest.
- Dijon have 3 wins and 1 loss from four away games across all competitions, so it seems unlikely that they will roll over in this clash, but Montpellier must still be the most likely winners at home.
