Nice v Dijon
15:00
League leaders Nice were unable to hold on to a 2-0 lead at PSG as they had to settle for a point, though they remain in excellent shape in Ligue 1 as they’ve lost just one of their 17 games so far and have a one point lead over Monaco. Promoted Dijon were beaten 2-1 at home to Marseille last time out and as a result they’re without a win in seven and are down to 17th.
Nice have now won 12 of 14 unbeaten home games during which time they’ve kept eight clean sheets and they’ve now led at the break in their last six at home. They’ve won seven of their nine home games against bottom-six teams since the start of last season, leading at the break in the last five of these victories, though they kept just three clean sheets in these games.
Dijon have picked up only three points from their eight road games so far, failing to score in half of these matches. They were thumped 3-0 at PSG, their only trip to a top-six side so far and since they were 2-0 down at the break in that game, we’re backing Nice/Nice half-time/full-time in what should be a routine victory for the league leaders.
