Troyes
- ES Troyes AC have won their last two games, the most recent being a 5-2 demolition of Guingamp followed by a 3-0 victory over Nancy, to move third in the Ligue 2 table with 13 points from six games. This ES Troyes AC vs Annecy FC preview highlights how their excellent form could play a crucial role in this upcoming fixture.
- Troyes are unbeaten at home in Ligue 2 this season, winning all four games.
- Troyes average 2.75 goals per game at home, but have conceded only 0.75 on average.
- Stephane Dumont has done a superb job at Troyes in his short time at the helm since August 2024, giving them a compact and organized structure when out of possession and the ability to make quick transitions forward.
Annecy
- Annecy FC are eighth with eight points, and our ES Troyes AC vs Annecy FC prediction will take into account how they have bounced back well from a defeat to Red Star and a draw with Reims by taking a 3-1 win at Grenoble last time out.
- Annecy FC are more of a proactive team, pressing collectively and looking to get the ball forward quickly.
- Laurent Guyot has been at the club since May 2021, and his philosophy of organised aggression, together with the energy his midfield puts into the game, has made the Highlanders a tough opponent on the road.
Head-to-Head
- Troyes have failed to win either of their last two home fixtures against Annecy FC. The ES Troyes AC vs Annecy FC prediction suggests this historical detail could influence the mindset of both teams.
- Troyes are perfect at Stade de l’Aube so far this term and are coming off a run of eight goals in their two most recent home fixtures.
Key Players
- Martin Adeline leads the line for Troyes with three goals in six Ligue 2 appearances, but it’s his movement and link-up play that creates the space for the big centre forward to finish off attacks in the penalty area, particularly at home.
- Clement Billemaz is Annecy’s top scorer with two in his six Ligue 2 outings, but the winger is a pacey number 10 who is often the spark that starts the counter attacks.
Betting Insights
- The hosts are a slight favorite for this game at +400 with a tie available at +290, which seems a bit too generous to us based on our ES Troyes AC vs Annecy FC betting tips.
- Both Teams To Score is listed at -121 for this fixture, but we’re taking the odds against with the information we have here that suggests two clubs going all out to win.
Prediction
So, while we’re confident both sides will look to attack each other on Friday, we think a strong home performance could see Troyes just about nick a vital three points.
