Immediately after the 2-2 draw against Caen, Dijon’s second home match in a 7 days. However undefeated this time, the DFCO receives the Nîmes Olympique Saturday 20 August 2022 (7 pm) at the Stade Gaston Gérard, for the 4th matchday of Ligue 2. Two groups with very similar latest trajectories: relegated from Ligue 1 for the duration of the 2020/21 year, they closed the previous weak calendar year in the standings in the stomach (9th for Nîmes, 11th for DFCO). At the start of the 2022/2023 time they are in the standings, the DFCO is 8th with 5 factors, whilst Nîmes is just driving, 10th with 4 points.
“Anything is happening”
Since the arrival of Omar Daf, the DFCO – who reunites Valentin Jacob this weekend – is however unbeaten, even having into account the friendlies. “A little something is happening” Jordan Marié confirms that considering that then he experienced not noticed these serenity inside the club “the yr we concluded 11th in Ligue 1”. Be the 2017-2018 year! “It is above all the effects that will bring confidence, the objective will be to glimpse up, not like final calendar year when it was scorching till the close”suggests the midfielder.
The club has been coming out of sophisticated months, we are stabilizing, so this begin to the year is good for us – Omar Daf
Clearly it is continue to much too early to draw conclusions on this begin of the season, but the full is much more than satisfactory for coach Omar Daf: “We will not be demanding. The club has been coming out of challenging months, we are stabilizing, so this start out to the period is favourable for us. We need to have to have even far more ambitions and get higher.”. Return many thanks to some gamers (Rocchia, Soumaré, Ndong, Touré), fantastic beginnings of the recruits, it would be a disgrace to quit so nicely.
Nîmes likes to annoy Gaston Gérard Dijon
In character, the crocodile, the emblem and nickname of this Nîmes team, has a eco-friendly shade. But from the position of see of Dijon – and football – he is almost a “black beast” when it comes to Gaston Gérard. The figures are formal. No victory at Dijon in the league in their final 6 online games (five defeats and one attract). If we go away out this match of the Coupe de France 2020 (victory 5- for DFCO), the previous success of the “Reds” at home dates again to 2014. With particularly cruel setbacks at household, which negatively marked the heritage of the club : 5 -4 defeat in 2015the 4- in 2018or the 2- in February 2021, deadly for the dreams of remaining in Ligue 1 at the time.
At the club for far more than 10 a long time, the midfielder Giordano married (operator in the initial 3 game titles and captain versus Pau) has what it takes to talk about it. “Nîmes is hardly ever effortless to play. They hooked us at dwelling in Ligue 1, fairly than hooked us. It was the match that harm us, that perhaps manufactured us reduce that calendar year”believes, referring to “a tough group to judge” who “can perform at the top rated of the table” this period.
In any situation, the Dijonnais guarantee you, they will not be paralyzed by the memory of this poor collection. Like his mentor Omar Daf, Jordan Marié thinks in it “They are just figures”. “I hope to get it more than with in any case”Jo ‘le Cuistot announces, enthusiastic to set the Crocos on the grill.
