Dijon vs Nantes, 2 January 2027, Ligue 2: form, head-to-head and match facts

Dijon host a struggling Nantes side in what promises to be a tight encounter, with the hosts sitting 13th on 6 points after one win, three draws and two defeats, having scored eight and conceded nine. Nantes, languishing in 17th place with just four points from one win, one draw and four losses, sit on a goal‑difference of minus five after netting seven and letting in twelve. The two teams have already exchanged points this season, and a win for Dijon would lift them clear of the relegation zone while Nantes would need a turnaround to keep survival hopes alive. Both sides will be keen to improve their modest goal tallies, making the midfield battle a likely decisive factor. A positive result for Dijon could see them climb a spot, whereas a Nantes victory would narrow the gap to safety.
