Title seekers Dijon vs relegation strugglers Bourg-Peronnas
3rd placed Dijon FCO travel to 16th placed Bourg-Peronnas in the National this Friday night as two teams with very different goals and ambitions face off. Dijon are flying high with 20 points from 11 matches and are clearly in the promotion race, while Bourg-Peronnas have struggled with just 7 points from 11 games.
David Le Frapper’s side have been a long way off Dijon in form over the last few weeks, winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 3 of their last 5. If you are looking for our Bourg-Peronnas vs Dijon FCO prediction, it is worth noting that Bourg-Peronnas are solid and organized in the 5-3-2 system and can be effective in counterattacking when their defensive triggers are activated, but lack the attacking potency to blow teams away. Benjamin Besic has been a bright spark with 4 National goals from 10 appearances, netting 3 of his sides last 5 goals.
Baptiste Ridira’s Dijon are a team that likes to control the ball and dictate the pace of play, patiently building from the back in the hope that their talent in midfield and in the front third can create enough overloads to carve out chances. Dijon like to play proactive soccer and press the opposition high up the pitch to try to force turnovers. Yanis Barka has been Dijon’s star player in attack with 4 goals from 11 National games and 3 from their last 5. For those seeking a Bourg-Peronnas vs Dijon FCO betting tips, watching the form of key attackers like Barka could be crucial.
Dijon to edge a close game
Dijon have picked up a win and a draw in their last two away games and will hope to extend their unbeaten record on the road against an unconvincing Bourg-Peronnas side on Friday. This Bourg-Peronnas vs Dijon FCO preview highlights that Dijon are clear favorites with the bookmakers, but Bourg-Peronnas have won their last 2 meetings and are favored with the home advantage this time, but at 4.84 that seems like a risk not worth taking.
The visitors are in much superior form and have a much better record away from home this season. Therefore, the Bourg-Peronnas vs Dijon FCO prediction leans towards Dijon, as they also have the more attacking quality and with pressure on Bourg to get a result to help them with their National survival fight, we should see a very intense game of soccer.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.56 looks a great odds considering Bourg’s lack of goals and the fact that Dijon have conceded an average of just 0.40 goals on the road in 5 matches this term.
