Montpellier vs Dijon should be a close game
Two Ligue 2 2026-2027 clubs come together at Stade de la Mosson on Saturday with Montpellier HSC a slight favorite at 1.9 with their visitors Dijon FCO coming in at 4.0 and the tie at 3.4. Montpellier boss Zoumana Camara has done a decent job since taking the job on 8 April 2025 and his squad are set up to be a matchup problem for Dijon FCO's Baptiste Ridira.
Montpellier are a ball-dominant 4-2-3-1 team, they get their midfielders to push forward and link up in wide, vertical passes, and counter-press with pace when they lose the ball. It can be a potent formula and one that can get Dijon out of their comfort zone on Saturday.
Dijon are the hotter team
Coach and style
Ridira took over at Dijon FCO on 1 July 2024 and, in his time at the helm, has instilled a sense of organisation to his team that makes them tough to beat. Dijon will get the ball into their big, powerful players and let them battle for the second ball or win the duel and release a quick player or two.
Recent form and stats
Their recent results suggest Dijon FCO are the more in-form team of the two with three wins, one tie and one defeat from their last five matches. Dijon have won three and lost once in their four away matches (W3, T0, L1). They have averaged 1.25 goals per away game across their four road games with a total of five away goals scored to date.
Montpellier have won two, tied two and lost once at home in all competitions (W2, T2, L1 in five matches). They have drawn two of their five home games, so they are not on a great home streak.
Dijon can nick it on the road
Dijon arrive on the back of two consecutive wins following a 2-1 victory at Le Puy, and a 3-2 win at home to Orleans US 45, although they did suffer a 1-2 defeat to LB Chateauroux in between.
This should be a tight game with Montpellier's possession-based style meeting Dijon's counter-attacking mindset head-on in what could be a decisive midfield battle.
- Julien Domingues is Dijon's main danger man, with four of their last seven goals in the last five matches, so he could be a live bet to score at any point on Saturday.
- Both teams to score at 1.85 is a live option for Saturday's encounter, while under 2.5 goals at 1.73 should be the bet in case the game is a tight, tactical chess match, which could be the way Dijon nick it.
