Dijon welcome Metz at Municipal Gaston Gerard, Dijon on Monday, Oct 12 at 8:45 PM in a Ligue 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Dijon come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Metz travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Dijon and Metz have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (2W–5D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Dijon win or a draw looks most likely.
