Metz welcome Dijon at Stade Saint Symphorien, Longeville-lès-Metz on Friday, Jan 22 at 8:00 PM in a Ligue 2 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Metz come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Dijon, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Metz and Dijon have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–5D–2W). 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 Metz win or a draw looks most likely.
