DIJON, France (Interstat) — A National 1 matchup Thursday at Stade Gaston Gérard pits Dijon against Berrich Chateauroux in a contest that pits a resurgent home side against a visiting team struggling for consistency.

Dijon enters the April 30 fixture riding momentum after a 3-1 victory at Vierzon FC on April 25. The result extended a strong run for the hosts, who have won four of their past five matches, including a 4-2 win at Auxerre on March 28 and a 3-1 victory over FC Versailles 78 on March 27. Dijon’s defense has been stingy, posting three clean sheets in that five-game stretch.

Berrich Chateauroux arrives in the Burgundy capital after a 5-3 defeat at home to Rouen on April 10 — the most goals the club has conceded this season. The loss snapped a three-match unbeaten run for the visitors. Their record this season shows a pattern of inconsistency; Chateauroux has drawn seven matches already, including a 2-2 result at Caen on March 6 and the most recent head-to-head meeting with Dijon.

That game, on Dec. 12, 2025, ended 0-0. The two sides have played to a draw in each of their past two encounters; Chateauroux also drew 1-1 at Dijon in the 2023-24 season.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw Thursday. However, the website’s ELO system gives Dijon an 86.30 percent probability to win.

Dijon’s schedule after Thursday includes a trip to Le Puy Foot on May 9 and a home match against Orleans on May 15. Berrich Chateauroux travels to Valenciennes on May 15.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. local time.
