Riviera FC vs ASPTT Dijon
NICE, France (Interstat) — Riviera FC hosts ASPTT Dijon on Saturday in a National 3 clash that pits a home side riding a two-match unbeaten run against a visiting team desperate to halt a three-game losing streak.
Riviera FC (3-1-4 in its last eight, based on available results) enters the May 16 fixture at 3 p.m. local time buoyed by a 3-1 victory at Carnoux Football on May 9. That result extended the home side’s unbeaten stretch to two matches, following a 2-1 win at Stade Beaucairois on April 26. However, inconsistency has plagued Riviera FC this season: the club managed only one win in its previous five outings before that mini-surge, including a 3-3 draw at ESC Rocheville on April 18 and a 1-1 tie with Gallia Lucciana on April 11.
ASPTT Dijon (1-1-6 in its last eight) arrives in Nice reeling from a 2-1 home loss to Seyssinet-Pariset on May 9. The defeat marked the club’s third consecutive setback after a 1-1 draw at Bourgoin-Jallieu on April 25 offered a brief respite. Dijon has not won since a 3-1 victory over Montpellier U19 on March 28, and its road form has been particularly shaky: the visitors have lost four of their last five away matches, including a 4-2 defeat at Lyon La Duchere on April 18.
The season series between these National 3 sides has no prior meeting listed, but Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw — a result that would snap Dijon’s losing streak while extending Riviera FC’s unbeaten run to three. Riviera FC will look to forward production that keyed its 3-1 win at Carnoux, while Dijon must tighten a defense that has conceded 12 goals in its last five matches.
Kickoff is set for Saturday at a venue to be determined. No injury reports were available.
