Will Dijon succeed in direct recovery?

FCO Dijon had to relegate from Ligue 1 in May after 5 years. The team of coach David Linarès was only last in the upper house, 19 points behind the relegation rank. The supervisor who had come in November could no longer turn things around. The club from north-east France comes to Ligue 2 with the most valuable squad and is therefore one of the favorites for promotion.

Will Sochaux win again after 9 years against Dijon?

FC Sochaux-Montbéliard starts with the 8th most valuable squad in Ligue 2, so it is expected to be in a similar table position as in the previous season. At that time, however, the squad was only estimated as the 13th best and the East French reached 7th place in the end. This was the best placement since relegation from the 1st division in 2014. Sochaux is now going into the 1st game of the season at Dijon as an underdog.
