Nancy Team News
Nancy has carried their inconsistent form from the preseason into the regular season. After securing a win against Chalon in the first round at their home ground, they were bested by Roanne in the second round. In that match, Nancy suffered a 107-80 defeat.
During the transition period between seasons, Nancy had an interesting transfer window. Stephane Gombauls joined the team Sassari in Italy, while Donte Grantham strengthened the London Lions and will play in the EuroCup this season. However, they were replaced by equally intriguing players. Tyren Johnson and Jordan Bowden, with Johnson being an established player in France for a while, whil Bowden comes from the USA. Certainly, the most significant news is the retention of arguably the most prominent player. Frank Mason III, after an unremarkable NBA career, came to Europe, stayed after the last half-season, and is currently delivering quite solid performances.
Nancy struggled significantly last season and was only a few wins away from the relegation zone. It’s safe to say that the club wants to avoid a similar situation, and they’ll do everything to do so. To achieve that, winning matches like this one against opponents who are not in good form, and Dijon is certainly struggling at the moment, is crucial.
Dijon
Dijon is in really bad form. After two losses in friendly matches, they added two more in the first rounds of the championship. It was expected that they might not secure a win against Paris on the road, but they surely anticipated a win against Cholet at home. However, they lost that game by 60-62.
When a team makes a combined total of 5 three-pointers out of 36 attempts in the first two rounds, it’s no wonder they lost both matches. They averaged only 62 points per game. In modern basketball, where the game is often played at a fast pace with a higher scoring rate, such a performance is not sufficient for success. Cameron Hunt, who was the top scorer in the first match, struggled significantly and only managed to score two points, both from free throws. In the game against Cholet, the best player was Aleksandar Laziz with 10 points and six rebounds in just under 14 minutes. Jacques Alingue and Dylan Affo Mama also reached double digits with 10 points each.
Last season, Dijon finished fourth in the domestic championship after the regular season. They might be heading towards a series of losses, which is certainly not a pleasant situation. If they start with a 0-3 record, there might be some concerns within the club. However, we believe that Dijon has enough quality to rise above this situation and they are capable of securing a victory on the road against Nancy.

Nancy vs Dijon Prediction
As we mentioned earlier, Dijon entered this season in not-so-great formthey. They are too high-quality of a team to deliver another subpar performance. We believe they will respond to the somewhat weaker showings and come out victorious in this away game.
