Preview: SO Romorantin vs. Dijon in French National 3

ROMORANTIN, France (Interstat) — A critical late-season matchup in France’s National 3 awaits on Saturday as SO Romorantin hosts Dijon.

The teams played to a 1-1 draw in Dijon on Dec. 13, 2025, in their only meeting this season. The result adds an element of familiarity to a contest with potential implications for the league table.

Dijon (9-5-8) enters with momentum from an unbeaten two-match run, including a scoreless draw against FC Sochaux-Montbeliard on Friday and a 2-0 victory over B-e-B Peronnas on April 10. Their recent form has been inconsistent, however, with a 3-1 loss to Fleury 91 on April 3 punctuating a stretch that also saw a 4-2 win at Auxerre.

SO Romorantin (7-9-6) is coming off an emphatic 7-2 road victory against Vierzon FC on April 11. That offensive outburst contrasted with a run of three consecutive draws in league play prior. Their home form has been solid, with only one loss in their last five matches at Stade Jules Ladoumègue.

Statistical projections present a split decision. Interstat’s game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw, replicating the earlier result. However, the same service’s ELO rating system gives Dijon a 61.6% probability of securing an away victory.

For Dijon, this match serves as a final tune-up before a significant step up in competition. The club is scheduled to begin play in National 1, the French third tier, the following week with a match at Valenciennes on April 24. That looming promotion could influence squad selection and intensity.

SO Romorantin will look to leverage its home pitch and the confidence from its seven-goal performance to disrupt Dijon’s rhythm and build momentum for its own season finale.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
