Paris FC vs Dunkerque Prediction & Betting Tips (23 August)

Often ranked among the biggest budgets in Ligue 2, Paris FC still cannot break its glass ceiling and finally succeed in getting on the right train to move up to Ligue 1. The capital club has not gone far of his objective last year by taking 5th place in the ranking but he ended up losing in the first round of the play-offs against Rodez on penalties. Ambitious again this season, the Ile-de-France residents have every reason to believe in their chances of joining the elite. Authors of a very serious preparation with 3 victories won in 4 friendly matches, Stéphane Gilli's men carried out a very good operation last Saturday, during the 1st day, by winning in Caen 0-2. Opposite, Dunkirk clearly does not box in the same category as its opponent in terms of budgetary power and its objective, above all else, will be to be able to maintain its place in the elite for a 3rd consecutive season.

Last year, the USLD got off to a very bad start in this championship before correcting the situation after the winter break to finally finish in 16th position in the ranking, 5 units ahead of the red zone. This summer, the Maritimes only won one of their preparation matches against Boulogne 2-3 before losing to Nantes 2-1 then falling back to back with Zulte Waregem 2-2. However, their first match played against Annecy was inconclusive and they even lost in the second half 0-2 against what should be a competitor in the race to maintain.

Over the course of their last 15 away matches in the Ligue 2, Dunkerque have been involved in just a couple of contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the most recent six Paris FC home games at this level as well.
