It is expected to be another battle for su ival this season in Ligue 1 for Dijon FCO, as they finished just one point above the relegation zone a year ago. The team looks weaker this year, as they lost Lois Diony and Pierre Lees-Melou. The club is hoping that the addition of Benjamin Jeannot will be enough to save them from relegation. One thing that is clear is that the team simply has to be better on the road, as they were the worst road team in the league a year ago, going 1-11 with 7 draws.

Odds To Win French Ligue 1: +50000
Dijon has no chance to win the league, so it is all about survival in 2017-2018. The team played pretty well at home a year ago, as they were 7-6-6 but they were terrible on the road. It is hard to see how Dijon survives this season if they can’t pick up more than one road win.

Dijon FCO 2017-18 Predictions
Dijon found a way to finish with a winning record at home last season, as they went 7-6-6 and that home mark saved them. They outscored opponents by a combined 27-21 at home. The road was where the team had all kinds of issues, as they went 1-11 with 7 draws. They were outscored on the road by a combined 37-19.
Dijon was only outscored by 12 goals on the season, so they might have underachieved a little bit. The problem with expecting Dijon to improve this season is that they look weaker than they were a year ago. There are just not a lot of goal scoring options on the team. Perhaps they can get something out of newcomer Benjamin Jeannot but he will need help. The addition of Wesley Said is also a good one but that is one of the few good moves the team made in the off-season.
The other major problem for Dijon is the age of the club. They don’t have a lot of young players who can make an impact this season or even next season. The club is counting on a lot of players who are at or past their prime. That is not a recipe for success. They have five players on the team who are 30-years old or older.
It is not going to be easy this season for manager Olivier Dall’Oglio, as he doesn’t have a lot of talent to work with. The team did well a year ago just to avoid relegation. Based on the moves they made in the off-season, or lack of moves you might say, the team will struggle this season. Unless this team makes some major additions, relegation seems the most likely outcome for Dijon FCO in 2017-2018.
