- Home form: Clermont have failed to win either of their 1 home Ligue 2 2026/2027 matches, scoring 0.00 goals and conceding 0.00 on average.
- Away form: Dijon are yet to win on the road in Ligue 2 2026/2027 after 1 away match, scoring 1.00 goals.
A tight matchup awaits the two out-of-form sides
Clermont sit 16th in Ligue 2 2026/2027 with 1 point from 2 games and Dijon are two places above them on 1 point from 2 matches. Both sides are looking for momentum, but this Friday's encounter at Stade Gabriel Montpied, France, looks to be a chess game as much as a game of football. The odds for this match favor the home side at 2.45, which is quite a bit better than Dijon at 2.8 or the 3.2 Draw.
Tactics and players
David Guion, who took charge of Les Lanciers on 1 July 2026, has built his team around a compact block that is disciplined and well spaced, and they are patient enough to wait for the gaps to appear before transitioning quickly to cover ground.
Key players
- Junior Sambia is the playmaker for Guion, already providing 1 assist in 2 Ligue 2 2026/2027 games, but it's Ousmane Diop who is the main scoring threat, netting 1 goal in 2 games.
- Julien Domingues has been in fine form for Dijon recently, netting 3 goals in the last 5 matches as his side scored 7 times in total, while Adel Lembezat is the team's top scorer in Ligue 2 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 2 matches.
Dijon setup
Baptiste Ridira, who took charge on 1 July 2024, is Dijon's head coach. His team play in a similar style to Clermont, preferring to control the ball and play patient football, but they are more structured in the build-up and keep their shape well.
Clermont's form has been mixed recently, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in the last 5 competitive games. Their form at home has been more consistent, with 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 games, while Dijon have only played 2 games in the league in 2026/2027.
Dijon have been tough to beat away from home recently, going undefeated in their last 2 away games, winning 1 and drawing 1, and Clermont should not be too optimistic about this one.
Clermont have drawn their only Ligue 2 2026/2027 home match, a 0-0 draw against Stade de Reims, and a 3-1 loss away to AS St. Etienne, while Dijon have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 games.
We feel that this game is likely to be a tight and close game and that under 2.5 goals at 1.66 is the best bet available, with Clermont just about edging the win.
