Dijon host Nancy at Dijon Arena on October 30 in an LNB regular-season fixture. It brings together the team in first place and the team in 15th, so the standings give the match a clear shape.

The main factor is the difference in league momentum. Dijon have won all five of their listed recent matches, four of them in the LNB, and the fifth in the French Cup on October 13 at St. Chamond. They scored 108 points against Limoges on October 9 and won 89-61 at Pau-Orthez on October 3. Even their closest results in this run were nine-point margins: 92-83 at Gravelines-Dunkerque on October 18 and 81-72 against Strasbourg on September 25. Nancy have won four of their last five, but their LNB record in that span is split. They beat Nanterre 80-65 on October
