j.s already said it, but here a link with a detailed explanation for this discrepancy:

"df" only reports the physically allocated memory and does not account for the compression that's taking place.
"du" however reports the actual size of the files, and not their compressed, physical size.
Thus, "du" will always report a higher usage than "df".
