On January 28 2017 at 19:00 in Lorient at the Stade du Moustoir in the regular game of the 22nd matchday of the French Ligue 1 the local Lorient play against Dijon.
Lorient finished the previous season on the 15th position in the standings with 7 points above the relegation zone. Yet, in the current season their results got even worse. After 21 games played since the start of the championship Lorient gained 18 points and take the last place in the standings of the Ligue with 23:43 goal difference. Anyway, in the latest home games Lorient showed pretty good results where they outplayed Rennes 2:1, St. Etienne 2:1 and Guingamp 3:1.
Even though Dijon score a lot, they are still not reliable enough. In fact, they scored 27 goals and conceded 30 in their 21 games played since the start of the championship. Dijon seem to be in really good conditions now as they haven’t lost for three games already. In those matches Dijon outplayed Toulouse 2:0, drew Montpellier 1:1 and Lille 0:0.
The statistics of the results of the latest five matches played between the teams don’t show any obvious favorites, in fact. In those games Lorient won twice, the teams drew once and Dijon won twice. In the first round game of the current season Dijon won. Lorient have a pretty long winning series now, while Dijon only won once in the latest 10 games played since September. That is why we think that the hosts are most likely to win in the upcoming game.
