DIJON, France (Interstat) — Dijon hosts Orleans on Friday, May 15, 2026, in a National 1 matchup that carries significant weight near the conclusion of the French third-division season.

Dijon enters with momentum after a 2-1 victory at Le Puy Foot on Saturday, May 9. The team is unbeaten in its last four league matches, posting two wins and two draws, and has lost just once in its past eight outings — a 3-1 defeat at Fleury 91 on April 3. Dijon’s home form has been solid, with the club winning two of its last three at Stade Gaston Gérard, including a 3-1 victory over Vierzon FC on April 25.

Orleans arrives following a 2-0 win at Fleury 91 on May 9, snapping a two-match winless run. The visitors have been inconsistent this season, with three wins, two losses and four draws in their last nine matches. The club’s defense has often been reliable — Orleans posted four clean sheets in that span — but the attack has struggled to find consistency, scoring more than two goals only once since February.

Friday’s match will be the second meeting between the clubs this season. Dijon won the previous encounter Aug. 8, 2025, a 2-1 result in Orleans. The two teams have shown they can be evenly matched: Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

For Orleans, the recent form of the attack will be a key factor. The club has scored one goal or fewer in seven of its last 10 overall matches. Dijon, meanwhile, has shown an ability to grind out results, with six wins by a single goal during the same span.

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