Our prediction: St Etienne does not lose in Dijon and both teams score (2.20)
Relegated to Ligue 2 after losing play-offs against Auxerre, the Greens seem to have made smart recruitment with the signings of five French players who know Ligue 2: Briançon, Cafaro, Chambost, Giraudon and Lobry. Adjustments still need to be made but St Etienne is the favorite for a return to Ligue 1 next season (4.50) ahead of Metz, Bordeaux, Paris FC, Caen… and Dijon. ASSE only fell once in preparation, against Angers (4-1), after beating Thonon-Evian (3-0) and Le Puy (1-0) but conceding two draws against Grenoble ( 1-1) and Bordeaux (1-1). For its part, the DFCO, which beat St Appolinaire, Villefranche and Le Havre (1-0) but was held in check by Annecy (1-1), is one of the possible outsiders but let’s not forget that it does not there will only be two climbs in L1 at the end of the season. The favorites on paper will therefore have every interest in being ready as soon as possible. The Stéphanois should not be unhappy to start in Burgundy, where they have been doing very well for ten years: five wins and a draw in six trips to the Côte d’Or. Will the Dijonnais still suffer from their pet peeve? Not impossible! I therefore propose the N2 with the two teams that score to try to double your bet.
