Comparative Team Statistics: Dijon vs Rodez

History is mixed, and it's a few years old

The last four meetings between these two go back to between 2021 and 2023, and the results split fairly evenly. Dijon won the most recent one 1-0 at home in April 2023, but Rodez had won the previous meeting 2-1 on their own patch a few months earlier.

With the gap since that last fixture, and given how differently both squads look now, this head-to-head record doesn't tell us much about how this particular match will go.

A real gap in the table, even early on

Seven games into the league season, Dijon sit ninth with nine points from two wins, three draws and two losses. Rodez are down in fourteenth with seven points, having won two, drawn one and lost four.

Dijon's goals record in the league so far is ten for and ten against, tidy enough. Rodez have conceded 16 in those seven matches against 14 scored, which lines up with the leakier defensive picture from their broader form.

Goals have come from a small group so far

Rodez's I. Baldé has been the standout scorer in the data we've got, with five goals in just four appearances, and R. Lipinski has chipped in three assists from seven matches. That's a useful sign of where Rodez's threat might come from.

Dijon's scoring looks more shared out, with Samy Olivier Chouchane and Júlio Tavares each on three goals from six or seven games. None of this confirms who'll actually start, since it's only a partial look at top performers rather than full squad information.
