Dijon vs Lens Ligue 1 Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊
This will be the first meeting in Ligue 1 between Dijon and Lens. In all competitions, Lens have only won one of their 11 games against DFCO (D5 L5), in August 2008 in Ligue 2 (3-1).
Dijon are unbeaten at home in all competitions against Lens (W5 D1), scoring at least two goals in four of these six games.
Dijon have won none of their last 10 games in Ligue 1 (D4 L6), the worst current run in the division. None of the last seven clubs with four points or fewer after 10 games in a top-flight season have avoided relegation.
Lens have won only one of their last four games in Ligue 1 (D2 L1), after winning three of the first four this season (L1). Lens have conceded four goals in each of their last two games in the top-flight but have never conceded 4+ goals in three consecutive games in L1.
Dijon have won none of their last five home games in Ligue 1 (D3 L2), after winning six of their previous 10 (D4). This is the first time in DFCO’s history they have started a top-flight campaign without winning any of their first five home games.
Lens have lost only one of their last three away games in Ligue 1 (W1 D1), courtesy of their last one, in the derby against Lille in October 2020 (0-4).
Dijon have conceded five penalties in Ligue 1 2020/21, more than any other team and one more than in their previous two seasons combined (4 in 66 games). However, Lens have won four penalties in the top-flight this season, with only Lyon (5) winning more.
Lens have made 14 high recoveries leading to a shot in Ligue 1 2020/21, with only Lyon making more (15). Three of these recoveries have led to a goal scored by les Sang et Or, the joint-highest tally in the top-flight this season, alongside Paris and Montpellier.
Former Lens’ player Mounir Chouiar has assisted Dijon’s last two goals in Ligue 1, each time for Mama Baldé. He has delivered two assists in his last four games in the top-flight, after failing to provide an assist in his first 25 games.
Lens’ goalkeeper Jean-Louis Leca has saved 48% of the shots he has faced in Ligue 1 2020/21, the worst rate for a keeper in a top-flight season (at least 8 games played) since Opta started analysing the competition (2006/07).
