Team News

  • Benjamin Corgnet is the only possible injury doubt for Dijon are coming off as a sub against Lyon.
  • Patrice Carteron let Corgnet train on his own and he should be in the starting line-up this weekend.
  • Dijon will be without Daniel Yeboah as he has gone to the African Cup of Nations.
  • After a visit to the infirmary during the week Gregory Pujol returned to training on Thursday.
  • Carlos Sanchez (hamstring), Jean-Louis Leca (knee) and Kenny Lala (knee) will all miss out through injury.
  • Rudy Mater will miss out through suspension. Nicolas Isimat-Mirin will return from suspension.
  • Remi Gomis has returned from the ACON and could feature in the side.
  • Valenciennes will be without Benjamin Angoua as they are playing at the African Cup of Nations.

Prediction

  • Dijon were unlucky to come away from Lyon without any points. Brice Jovial will have had some sleepless nights after his penalty miss. Patrice Carteron will be proud of his side and the fighting spirits shown away at the Stade Gerland.
  • The job Carteron now has is to find a system to accomodate both star-man Benjamin Corgnet and new loanee Gael Kakuta in the same starting line-up.
  • Last week Daniel Sanchez side were outplayed by Ajaccio. Whether Sanchez goes back to five in midfield in this away clash will be an interesting tactic to look out for. The decision of who plays up front will be crucial one. The young talented Vincent Aboubakar or the experienced Gregory Pujol.
  • With eight-goal Brice Jovial in good form, Dijon will be confident that they can pick up three points at home. Valenciennes are very unpredictable and could easily spring a surprise. Should be a tight game.
  • PREDICTION: 1-1 draw
