Both teams to scoreYes (61%)
Dijon hosts Orleans in the Coupe de France 1/128-finals on 13 November. The hosts compete in Ligue 2, while Orleans play in Ligue 3, setting up a fixture that pits a side two divisions higher against lower-league opposition. Dijon come into this as the favourite, but a cup tie always carries unpredictability.
Team form
Dijon
Dijon's recent league form is mixed. They lost their last two Ligue 2 matches — falling 1-2 to Rodez and 2-4 to Reims — but before that won back-to-back games, including a 4-2 victory over Metz. Over their last five outings, they've scored 12 and conceded 11 (2.4 and 2.2 per game). In their most recent fixture on 24 October, they held 72% possession and created 1.59 expected goals but still lost 1-2 to Rodez, suggesting some defensive fragility despite dominance.
Orleans
Orleans are struggling. They've won just once in their last five Ligue 3 matches, drawing twice and losing twice. Their attacking output is alarming: 1 goal scored across those five games (0.2 per game) against 8 conceded (1.6 per game). They drew 0-0 at home to Cannes most recently but lost 0-2 away to Amiens and 0-4 at home to Versailles in September. This is a team finding the net very rarely and leaking goals regularly.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record strongly favours Dijon. In their last five meetings, Dijon have won three, drawn once, and lost none. Most recently, on 15 May, Dijon won 3-2 at home. Before that, they drew 2-2 in March 2025 and won 1-0 at home in April 2024. Dijon also won away at Orleans in 2015 and at home in 2014. The pattern is clear: Dijon have the measure of this opponent.
Key factors
The gulf in attacking potency is the standout factor. Dijon average 2.4 goals per game recently; Orleans have managed just 0.2. Defensively, Orleans concede 1.6 per game while Dijon concede 2.2, so the hosts' vulnerability at the back could offer Orleans hope, but their inability to finish makes that hope slim. Dijon's possession dominance (72% in their last outing) suggests they should control the game. Orleans' coach Herve Della Maggiore took charge in September, but the team's output has not improved. For fantasy purposes, Dijon players offer better attacking prospects, though Orleans' defensive frailty means both sides could score.
Prediction
Dijon are the favourite. They play two divisions higher, have won three of the last five head-to-head meetings, and Orleans are in poor form offensively. Dijon's recent losses came in league play where they still created chances; in a cup tie at home, they should be sharper. Orleans' attacking drought is a major obstacle, though Dijon's leaky defence keeps the door ajar for a goal. The balance of evidence points to a Dijon win, though Orleans cannot be ruled out entirely given their unpredictability in cup football.
Dijon are favourites to progress. Expect them to dominate possession and create the clearer chances, but Orleans' defensive vulnerabilities mean a fairly open game is possible. For fantasy players, Dijon's attacking midfielders and forwards offer better value, though a goal for Orleans would not be a shock given Dijon's recent defensive lapses.
