Paris Saint-Germain vs Dijon prediction, preview, team news and more | Ligue 1 2020-21
The Ligue 1 returns to the fold this weekend as reigning French champions Paris Saint-Germain host Dijon at the Parc des Princes on Saturday. The home side has not been at its best this season and will have a point to prove this weekend.
Dijon have endured a miserable domestic season so far and are currently rooted to the bottom of the Ligue 1 table. The away side is yet to win a game in the French league and needs to turn its season around in the coming weeks.
Paris Saint-Germain have managed to recover from a shaky start to the season but will need to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League. The French giants have plenty of talent in their ranks and should be able to win this game.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Dijon Head-to-Head
Paris Saint-Germain have a massive advantage over Dijon as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have won 12 games out of a total of 14 matches played between the two sides. Dijon have managed only two victories against Paris Saint-Germain and will need a miracle to take something away from this fixture.
The previous meeting between these two sides resulted in an emphatic 4-0 victory for Paris Saint-Germain. Kylian Mbappe was exceptional on the day and will want to replicate his heroics in this weekend's game.
