The Dijon vs. Lyon match will be played on Friday, April 20, at the Gaston Gerard Stadium, Dijon. This is one of the round 34 Ligue 1 matches. Dijon is currently 12th on the table with 42 points, while Lyon is 3rd on the table with 66 points at the moment.

STATS

  • Dijon won only one out of their last six league games. They failed to win their last two league matches played at home.
  • Lyon is in the series of four victories in all competitions. In the league, they won the last five games they played. In those five matches, Lyon scored 14 goals and conceded only two.

HEAD TO HEAD

These teams met four times in the 21st century. Dijon recorded one victory, while Lyon won three games. It is interesting that both teams scored at least once and we saw over 2.5 goals in all four matches they played. Also, the last two games they played ended with the same result, 4:2.

DIJON NEWS

Dijon had a very successful season. Their primary goal was to avoid the relegation and they already achieved that. At the moment, Dijon has 13 points advantage over Lille, which is currently the best team in the relegation zone. They still haven't secured their Ligue 1 status mathematically, but with five games to go and only 15 points in play, they need only three points to be completely safe.

LYON NEWS

With a series of victories, including the one in Marseille, Lyon climbed up to the number three position, which leads to Champions League in the upcoming season. They are only four points behind Monaco at the moment, and they are eyeing that second place too. However, Marseille has 66 points as well, and every slip off might lead to losing the 3rd position. Against Dijon, the victory is an absolute must.
