Kick-off at 19:00 UK/ 20:00 CET
Venue: Stade de la Licorne (Amiens).
Amiens
The veteran defender Christophe Jallet will miss several weeks with a thigh injury sustained in training.
Guirassy Serhou could be an option despite being forced off against Monaco at the weekend.
Fousseni Diabate is a doubt after coming off against Monaco, but Moussa Konate fit again, after coming off the bench.
Dijon
Julio Tavares and Alfred Gomis are both back in training and should start here.
Mickael Alphonse Mendyl Hamza seems to have been displaced as first choice left back.
Jordan Marie also retraining, but not a strong candidate to start here, because he has no match fitness.

Seeing a combined record on the road, the visiting side has won 0% of this meeting. The home team has prevailed in 60% of them.
Amiens vs Dijon Predictions
Amiens had to take the last match-day Monaco. The latter have the home advantage, and they use it well, especially in the second half. While the first 45 minutes ended without a single goal, the hosts were fired in three unanswered goals in a row to take the victory.
Meanwhile, Dijon try their best at the game the previous week. They hold violation Nantes for 73 minutes before conceding. It said the goal is the only one in the game as well.
Both teams are suffering at this time, but Amiens at least have some reason to hold some hope. The team is on a run of five defeats, but only one of those losses came at home in a formal meeting.
At home, they have won three of their previous four fixtures, while, Dijon has a total of four victories throughout the season, and none on the road. In fact, they were in a five-match losing run on the road, and lost eight of the previous ten match-ups like them too.
Importantly, Amiens had been unbeaten against this opponent is the entire past decade, and have lost just once at this point in the previous 15 years.
Taking into account these observations, count on the host desperate to do just enough to fight hard to win this Saturday. However, to be on the safe side, we would opt for the DNB.
Move, on the objectives, both teams will have to suffer at one point or another. Amiens has kept clean sheets in two of the previous twenty match-ups, and just twice in their previous eleven games at home.
Also, Amiens has the second worst defense in all competitions, with the worst being the last die-placed Toulouse.
Taking into consideration these observations, it is very likely that BTTS bets will give a good result this weekend.
