Preview: Olympique Lyonnais 2 Hosts ASPTT Dijon in National 3 Clash

LYON, France (Interstat) — Olympique Lyonnais 2 will look to reverse a recent head-to-head result when it hosts ASPTT Dijon in a French National 3 fixture on Saturday.

The match at Lyon’s training complex pits a young reserve side against a visiting team mired in a difficult run of form. The simulator from Interstat projects a 1-1 draw.

The previous meeting this season saw Dijon edge a five-goal thriller, winning 3-2 at home on Nov. 8. That result is part of a challenging period for Dijon, which enters the match on a three-game losing streak across all competitions. Its most recent outing was a 1-0 home defeat to ES Fosseenne on March 14. Dijon’s form has been inconsistent, with just one win in its last seven league matches.

Olympique Lyonnais 2 arrives with slightly more momentum, coming off a 2-2 draw on the road against Carnoux Football on March 14. The reserve side has had mixed results but has shown a capacity for goals, scoring two or more in four of its last six matches. However, defensive solidity has been an issue, with only one clean sheet in that same span.

The matchup carries significance in the lower-half of the National 3 table. Both teams will view this as an opportunity to secure valuable points. For Dijon, it is a chance to halt its skid and replicate its earlier success against Lyon. For the Lyon reserves, it represents an opportunity to build consistency and gain revenge for the November defeat.

Following this match, Dijon’s schedule continues with a home game against Montpellier U19 on March 28. Olympique Lyonnais 2 next travels to face Olympique Ales-en-Cevennes on April 25.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time (1700 GMT) on Saturday, March 21, 2026.
