Shirts Off: Dijon go toe to toe with Rennes tonight

"Fourteenth-placed Dijon have Ligue 1's worst defence"

Defences could find attacks too hot to handle in Dijon tonight, says Tobias Gourlay

Club Brugges 3 Oostende 2 in Belgium last night. But it wasn't actually as close as all that. The hosts were 2-0 up within eight minutes and eased to the Half Time/Full Time double we needed.

Today we're crossing the border into France, where we hoping to find a few more goals. Fourteenth-placed Dijon have Ligue 1's worst defence. They've conceded 45 times in 22 games so far. That's eight times more than any other team. Eight also happens to be the number of goals they conceded at PSG recently. At the Stade Gaston Gerard, they've scored in every game except one this term, but managed just two clean sheets in 11 attempts.

Under Sabri Lamouchi, eighth-placed Rennes have scored in 9/10, including 5/5 on the road. Only third-placed Marseilles have stopped them. However, the Red & Blacks have also conceded in all five of those away games. Having drawn 2-2 with Dijon in the reverse fixture, we fancy they've got goals coming at both ends again today.
