Reims
- Reims are set to be more attack-minded under Nicolas Usaï, but the early signs have been mixed as they have drawn their last 2 fixtures, 0-0 at Clermont and 3-0 against Dunkerque in Ligue 2 2026/2027.
- The Rémois want to control the ball and create chances through the pressure, but Laurent Guyot has kept Annecy compact, disciplined and difficult to break down, while a high-intensity press and counter-attacking style should give the visitors some bite.
Annecy
Annecy have made a superb start to the campaign, sitting 2nd with 6 points from 2 matches , while Reims are 11th with 2 points from 2 games .
Head-to-Head
Reims have split the last 2 head-to-heads, winning once and drawing once with Annecy, who have no victories.
Key Players
-
Reims:
- Yaya Fofana is Stade de Reims' main goal scorer so far in Ligue 2 2026/2027, bagging 2 goals in 2 matches, but Keito Nakamura, who has 4 of their last 10 goals in his last 5 appearances, will be the bigger threat in the box.
- Amine Kashi, who has 1 assist in 2 Ligue 2 2026/2027 games, should add some spark and flair for Reims.
-
Annecy:
- Antoine Larose is Annecy's leading scorer, with 1 goal in 2 Ligue 2 2026/2027 matches, but Clément Billemaz, who has 1 assist in 1 Ligue 2 2026/2027 match, has been their livewire this season.
Betting Insights
- Stade de Reims are yet to record a home victory in Ligue 2 2026-2027 (D1, L0) and Annecy are looking for revenge after being beaten 2-1 at this venue in Ligue 2 2025/2026, while they have not won their last away game against Reims.
- So, the value looks to be elsewhere, in the 'Both teams to score' market at 1.85.
- Reims have been more open than last season, averaging 3.00 goals for and against in their home games, and Annecy have responded to a 0-4 friendly loss to Sion with consecutive league victories, away at Pau and at home to Rodez, which shows that they have a solid away record.
