Dijon and Metz Set for Few Goals

Dijon sit ninth after seven matches while Metz hold fifth place in Ligue 2. Both teams have produced three or more goals in only three of their seven league games this season. Dijon score 1.7 goals a game at home and concede 2.0 there, yet their matches stay low scoring overall. Metz manage just 0.3 goals per away game and concede 0.7 on the road, keeping contests tight. The sides enter this fixture on similar recent form and remain evenly matched according to the pre-match view. Their head to head record includes several high scoring games but the current patterns point elsewhere. A key matchup will be whether Metz can break down Dijon without creating open play.
