Late match of the 24th round of French championship is important for the both teams which are positioned in the lower half of table. Troyes’ situation is more difficult as it has just one point more than teams in the drop zone, however, this team triumphed in the last round after losing in three previous ones and being eliminated from the Cup. Dijon has four points more than its new opponent and it’s situation is different as after two wins this team was soundly defeated in previous round. Dijon won as a home team their first head-to-head this season by 3-1.

Troyes

Troyes played a lot better in the first part of season when was positioned around mid-table. As the championship is getting closer to its end Troyes plays weaker and weaker, which is why very close to the relegation zone. It just returned to the first division and now are in danger of new relegation. Each match is very important to them and they have no obligations in two French Cups given they were eliminated from both. All they have is the championship and they can fully focus on the survival race.

It is interesting that Troyes didn’t draw for a very long time in the league, or more precisely from October last year but since then it lost far more matches than they won. In previous round Troyes won last placed Metz with a goal scored two minutes before the end. Pele and Khaoui are back in the team, and no new changes are expected.

Probable lineups ES Troyes: Zelazny – Deplagne, Giraudon, Herelle, Traore – Bellugou, Walter – Grandsir, Khaoui, Pele – Niane

Dijon

Dijon’s situation is different and this team played much weaker in the first half of the season, while now it is doing just fine which is why are at bigger distance from the drop zone. Of course, Dijon is still not safe and the struggle continues, but we need to have in mind that at the beginning of season this team was at the very bottom of table while now the situation is much better. It should be said that Dijon suffered several heavy defeats recently; PSG outclassed them by even 8-0 and they lost away to Monaco 4-0 last Friday.

On the other hand, in between two sound defeats Dijon won two important victories at home; it firstly won Rennes 2-1 and then Nice 3-2 after turning the result up-side down. Forward Tavares was Dijon’s key player in two abovementioned victories, he scored three goals although he couldn’t do a thing against very strong Monaco. Manager Dall’Oglio doesn’t make too many changes but he gave chance to Kwon against Monaco who scored against Nice after coming off the bench. Now, despite heavy defeat, we don’t expect new changes.

Probable lineups FCO Dijon: Reynet – Rosier, Yambere, Djilobodji, Haddadi – Balmont, Abeid, R. Amalfitano – C. H Kwon, Tavares, Sliti

Verdict:

Given that both teams are positioned in the lower part of table, close to the drop zone, points from this match are important for both of them, and consequently we expect a great struggle and another hard match without too many goals.
