French second league, round 29. Chateauroux is four points under the relegation line and every of the next ten games will be decisive. It seems the players feel the situation, four points frome last two home games ( Tours 1-1, Boulogne 2-0). In the last round they made a decent performance against Metz, loosing 1-0. Today problem is missing the best goalscorer Mulenga (6 goals). And one more fact for the hosts, from their last five games on this pitch, Chateauroux won four, with one draw.
Dijon lies in the safe middle table, nine points more than Chateauroux. In the last round they beat Bastia 2-0, that the first positive result after five competitive games. As the most teams in French second, they play much better at home than on the road, just one win in 14 games. Big problems with the missings. Aubameyang (best goalscorer) and Batoménila went for Gabon national team game, while the goalie Bonnefoi is injured. Key defender Zywiecki is suspended, Goulard too.
This will be the game between fully motivated host and decrepit and relaxed visitor. Logic doesn't always works in French second, but this looks like the pick of the day. And odds look really good, William Hill offers 2.15, 888, Expekt and the most of others 2.10. Home win.
