Hi, The basic difference is while using <Directory> the path should be absolute and should be there on the filesystem. But <DirectoryMatch> there is no need for any absolute path.... Also if your Document root is /opt/html and assume there are two other folders like /opt/html/test/test1 and /opt/html/support/test now on the doucument root on .htaccess if you have used <DirectoryMatch test> and denied for everyone, access for both /opt/html/test & /opt/html/support/test will be blocked which is not with the case of <Directory>
