Dijon - Montpellier t Prediction, Picks and Taips

The last ten matches between Dijon and Montpellier were hit by both teams. Will this special series be continued on Sunday afternoon?

Dijon already suffered the fourth defeat in a row of the still young season last weekend. After losses against Angers, Olympique Lyonnais and Stade Brestois, RC Strasbourg was also too strong for Stéphane Jobard's team last weekend. For the fourth time in four races, les Moutards barely managed to create chances and in the back the door was wide open again a few times. It was thanks to goalkeeper Albert Gomis that RC Strasbourg only scored once, but Gomis alone will not be able to keep this Dijon in the Ligue 1 if the team does not improve quickly. Against RC Strasbourg, the back line consisted of two players who did not play for Dijon last season: Anibal Chala and Jonathan Panzo. Although both defenders have shown in the past to have the necessary talent, they are still looking pale in Dijon and could not prevent their goalkeeper from seeing 27 shots fired at his goal this season, the most of all goalkeepers in the Ligue 1. With a save percentage of 74%, Gomis is certainly not performing badly, but also not better than last season, when Dijon also had to fear relegation for a long time.

With ten goals scored in the first four games of the new season, Montpellier can rightly be called a goal-scoring machine. Michel Der Zakarian's team was no less than 4-1 too strong for Angers last weekend and can now be found in shared third place with nine points from four games and one point behind the lead. Because AS Saint-Étienne and Stade Rennais already meet each other on Saturday evening, Der Zakarian's team could in theory even take the lead this weekend and that seems to me an excellent motivation against Dijon. La Paillade's excellent offensive performances also come at a price, because so far Der Zakarian's team has taken a goal against every game. In the 3-4-2-1 system used by the Armenian trainer and former defender, the left and right midfielder have both a defensive and an offensive role and that has not always been successful so far. The absence of captain Vitorino Hilton, who caused a penalty two weeks ago and received a red card for a foul on the 26 years younger Ryan Cherki, does not help the defensive performance, but so far the vanguard has managed to compensate for that very well.
