Annecy (home)
- Annecy have had a mixed 5-game run, W2, D1, L2, winning 0-1 at Dunkerque, after losing 1-2 at home to Dijon.
- 6th placed Annecy FC (13pts from 8 games) will take on 5th placed AS Nancy Lorraine (13pts from 8 games) in Ligue 2 2026-2027 at Parc des Sports on Friday, in what promises to be a very competitive game between two clubs right in the promotion race.
- Annecy's home record has dipped recently, with 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss over their last 2 at Parc des Sports.
Nancy (away)
- Nancy are the form team here, having won their last 2 games, and 3 of their last 5.
- Nancy are the more in-form of the two, however, having just won their last two league games in a 4-3 away thriller at Rodez and a 1-0 win at home to Guingamp.
- Nancy have a solid 2-1-1 record on the road in Ligue 2 2026/2027 and have shipped only 4 goals on their travels, which is 1.00 per game on average.
Head-to-Head
- Annecy haven't won their last home game against Nancy, so visitors know they can compete.
- The last meeting between these two clubs in Ligue 2 2025/2026 went Annecy's way 5-1 away from home, but the overall recent H2H record is 1-1 in 2 meetings.
Key Players
- Nancy have found their scoring boots of late and Nehemiah Fernandez is their leading marksman with 2 goals in 7 Ligue 2 2026/2027 matches.
- Annecy's Thibault Rambaud has scored twice in Ligue 2 2026/2027, so we're backing Les Chardons to get on the board on Friday.
Betting Insights
- This contrast in playing styles should set up a very interesting match, with Annecy looking to get at Nancy's defense, and Nancy looking to dictate tempo and control the ball.
- Whoever lands the first significant blow will come out on top in this one and the match odds have Nancy a slight favorite at 2.45, Annecy 2.7 and the tie 3.45.
Prediction
- We feel that Nancy are the better of the two teams in form and should be able to edge this close contest, so we're going for an away win, albeit not a big stake given how close these teams are in the table.
- Nancy will be the more confident team going into the game, and Annecy have lost their mojo at home recently.
- Annecy have scored 4 goals at a rate of 1.33 per game at their Parc des Sports home this season, so we feel that both teams to score is the smartest play at 1.62.
- Nancy have found their scoring boots of late and Nehemiah Fernandez is their leading marksman with 2 goals in 7 Ligue 2 2026/2027 matches.
