Dijon draw leaves Lyon on 42-year low in Ligue 1
A goalless draw with Dijon means Lyon is enduring its worst Ligue 1 run of form in terms of wins since 1977.
Les Gones have drawn four and lost four of their past eight league games, marking the first time in 42 years they have gone such a stretch without a win in the same season.
Lyon managed 24 shots to Dijon's six on Sunday (AEDT) but could not find a breakthrough, meaning it is just a point above the bottom three after 10 matches this term.
Since a 6-0 thrashing of Angers on 17 August (AEDT), its only victory in any competition was the surprise 2-0 away defeat of RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League on 3 October (AEDT).
A 1-0 loss to rival Saint-Etienne led to the departure of head coach Sylvinho, with Rudi Garcia named as his replacement during the past week.
Garcia's past opening league matches in charge of a Ligue 1 team in have ended in 0-0 draws. His Lille side was held at home by Nancy in August 2008, and Marseille drew with Paris Saint-Germain in October 2016.
Lyon heads to Benfica for a UEFA Champions League clash on Thursday (AEDT) before it hosts bottom-of-the-table Metz next weekend in what will be an early-season six-pointer.
