Dijon host Metz as both sides look to find consistency in Ligue 2

Dijon entertain Metz at Stade Gaston-Gerard on Monday, 12 October 2026, with both teams separated by just one point after seven matches in Ligue 2. The fixture is scheduled to begin at 18:45 GMT as the ninth-placed visitors look to turn solid performances into more victories.

Dijon currently sit 10th with nine points. Their record consists of two wins, three draws and two defeats, highlighting an inconsistent start to the campaign.

The hosts produced a strong result away at Annecy, winning 2-1, but have since slipped back into an uneven run and dropped points. Dijon are still waiting for a decisive improvement in their home performances.

Metz occupy ninth place with 10 points. The Grenats have also won twice, but their record includes four draws and only one defeat since the beginning of the season. While they have shown defensive solidity, they have not been clinical enough to turn promising displays into three-point results.

That issue was evident in their most recent outing, when Metz drew 2-2 with Saint-Etienne.

Previous meetings

The overall record between the clubs slightly favours Metz. Across 23 meetings in all competitions, the Grenats have recorded nine victories, compared with six wins for Dijon, while the remaining eight matches ended level.

The two sides have faced one another in both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, with the history offering little to separate them decisively.
