Head-to-head statistics Dijon - Metz
Dijon FCO Team Overview
In their last Ligue 2 fixture, Dijon came from behind to beat Annecy 2-1 away from home, having trailed 0-1 at half-time. They dominated possession with 61% and outperformed their opponents in expected goals - 1.76 to 0.71.
Both of Dijon's wins in this season's Ligue 2 have been delivered by 37-year-old Julio Tavares. The club's all-time leading scorer came off the bench on both occasions. Against Laval, Dijon were two goals ahead before their opponents levelled, and Tavares then converted the winning penalty. The following week in Annecy, the team were behind at half-time, and the veteran scored twice in five minutes. With nine points, the newly promoted side sit in mid-table. At home, Baptiste Riedira's team have fared worse than away: both Pau and Saint-Étienne have taken three points from Dijon.

Metz Team Overview
Metz's previous Ligue 2 match ended in a 2-2 home draw with Saint-Étienne. All four goals came after the break. Saint-Étienne had more shots on target (6-3) and significantly outperformed Metz in xG - 1.75 to 0.78.
Gregory Proman is a Metz man through and through: he spent 12 seasons at the club and captained them. Last season, as a new manager, he helped Clermont stay up in Ligue 2. Now he has a side with 10 points from seven matches and a noticeable imbalance. At home, Metz are unbeaten and have scored nine goals in four matches, and before the break they even came back to draw with Saint-Étienne after being two goals down. Away from home it is a different story: two draws, a defeat to Red Star, and just one goal scored. Metz have not won away from home in 12 consecutive matches, a run that stretches back to their time in Ligue 1.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Dijon have not kept a clean sheet this season - opponents have scored against them in all seven Ligue 2 rounds. Dijon themselves have been on the scoresheet in five consecutive matches. The head-to-head history points in the same direction: both teams scored in 7 of their last 8 meetings. Metz away from home, however, are more modest: in 11 of their last 12 away matches, they managed no more than one goal. We therefore expect both teams to score, but without a high-scoring affair. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
