Clermont vs Dijon (Predictions, Preview, Picks, Tips, Odds)

Quite a bad day for me last night, but could have been much better if Ajaccio didn't conceded in 95 mins after a super strange phase and if Paris FC & Bourg Peronnas wouldn't burn the gas for nothing for aprox 75 minutes:). A strange round in terms of penalties: 8 penalties in 8 games some of them quite hilarious (both awarded in Ajaccio - Red Star). Laval missed one of those penalties and instead of a possible 2-2 they lost 1-2. Well.. another painful game NIort - Lens with Niort playing quite excellent, keeping in mind latest developments, but Lens GK saved at least 4-5 clear chances to score. Quite some bad luck brrr. But of course some bad judged games from my side like Auxerre- Metz. Now let's go with the derby of the round Clermont - Dijon. A game which at a first glance is more important for Clermont in their battle to maintain promotion chances. Corinne Diacres' boys are coming after a convincing 3-0 win on the road at Creteil. But was a first half dominated by Creteil, who mised couple of good chances to open the score. Then a penalty in injury time of first half converted by Laborde changed completely the course of the game. Creteil was unable to play in the same way in second half and Clermont scored twice for a important win. Was their 4 wins in latest 6 games and are now , keeping in mind  yesterday results, 4 points behind LeHavre and Red Star. Once again Diacre left on the bench top scorer Diedhoiu making some other change in team arrangement. They recovered Avinel for this game b ut PEreirra  will miss due injury. DIjon may reduce a bit the tempo, being in a series of 3 games without a win but moreover without scoring. But overall in all 3 were better team. Especially in previous Saturday derby against Nancy where they dominate for long period of time, missing plenty of good chances. Anyway keeping in mind latest results of the other contenders they are still 6 points clear of 4th spot with 5 rounds to play. Maybe a single win and couple of draw in latest round will be enough for them to celebrate the promotion. Even they didn't won in latest round their games were pretty solid. Bernard is left out of the side - technical reasons, while Amalfitano remains injured. Even Clermont performed excellent at home almost all campaign 10 W 3D 3L , they proved to be quite shaky against top teams: losing against Auxerre, Red Star and Nancy. Their chances is now the fact Dijon doesn't have really need to win here and they proved to be able enough to impose the draw at least at Brest. I see a nervous game, with both scoring but perhaps the game will be finishing all square 1-1. gl
