Head-to-head statistics Dijon - Saint Etienne
Dijon FCO Team Overview
Dijon's title-winning season brought 65 points, 52 goals scored and 25 conceded - both attacking and defensive figures the best in the Nationale. Baptiste Riedira is in his third season at the club; at the end of the last one he was named the division's best manager and signed a contract extension until 2028. Things are going differently in Ligue 2: two away draws and just two goals in three rounds. Dijon's only home match of the season ended in a defeat to Pau (0-1). At home against Saint-Γtienne, Dijon have scored no more than one goal in 7 of their last 8 head-to-head meetings. The most recent of those, however, was played in July 2022.
Match Results: Dijon FCO
Saint Etienne Team Overview
Saint-Γtienne are playing in Ligue 2 for the second season in a row. A year ago, les Verts were second with four rounds to go, but picked up only three points from the last 12 and finished third. They then missed out on promotion to Ligue 1 at the end of the play-off against Nice, after which Philippe Montanier left the club. Since June, the team has been managed by Scotsman Ian Cathro, who spent the previous two seasons at Portuguese club Estoril. His start has been perfect: nine points from nine and just one goal conceded. Last round, les Verts thrashed Grenoble 4-0, and in the opening match away at Sochaux, Irvin Cardona scored a brace.
Match Results: Saint Etienne
β Editor's Prediction
Saint-Γtienne have won more than 3.5 corners in 15 of their last 17 matches. Away from home the numbers are the same - 6 of their last 7. At Dijon specifically, the pattern is even more consistent: at least four corners in five consecutive head-to-head meetings. The hosts are without a win after three rounds, and we don't expect the newly promoted side to hold the ball for long against the league leaders. The bet is Saint-Γtienne Team Corners Total - Over 3.5. Predicted score - 1:2.
