On Saturday Apr 30th, in week 36, Niort hosts Dijon in a meeting of these two closely matched Ligue 2 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Niort sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-2 loss against Toulouse. Brecht Dejaegere struck first for Toulouse in the 21st minute on a feed from Issiaga Sylla, then Ado Onaiwu added another in the 78th minute on a feed from Branco van den Boomen In the end, Niort couldn’t muster any offence and Toulouse ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while dijon is fresh off their 3-3 draw against Guingamp. Aurelien Scheidler scored the first goal for Dijon in the 1st minute, then Mihai Alexandru Dobre added another in the 27th minute on a feed from Valentin Jacob . Dijon is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Stade Gaston-gérard, Dijon and Niort battled to a 2-2 draw. Baptiste Reynet scored the first goal for Niort on an own goal in the 23rd minute, then Yanis Merdji added another in the 28th minute.
Aurelien Scheidler has been the most effective weapon for Dijon lately. The French attacker has netted three goals in his last 5 matches. Mpasi-Nzau and Mendes are the top scorers for Niort in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
