Annecy FC
Amiens
On September 13, the Parc de Sport will host the match of the 4th round of the French Ligue 2, in which Annecy will play against Amiens. Ready exclusive prediction from the experts of Dailysports.
“Annecy”
The team for a long time played successfully, but in the amateur format. In 2020 managed to rise to the third division of the country (in six seasons it was the third rise in the level of performances), and two more years later - climbed to Ligue 2. Noisy semi-amateurs in the cup, in 2023 stopped only at the semifinal stage.
Now the club is trying to stay among the middlers of the second division of the country. In the last draw it turned out well, finished fourteenth. Now the wards of Laurence Guillaud started well, with 2-0 on the field of “Dunkirk”. But this was followed by 2-4 at home to Martigues and 1-1 to Caen, when they managed to open the scoring, but the hosts legitimately converted a clear advantage in possession into a return goal.
“Amiens”
The club made its way into Ligue 1 at the end of the last decade. And managed to gain a foothold there, showing modest, but sufficient for “survival” results. The “unicorns” would have fought to retain their place in 2020, but they were deprived of the chance to do so by a coronavirus. France, unlike most European countries, decided not to finish the season, but to end it early - and the team, which was in the relegation zone, was sent to the second division. There it remains, for example, having finished eighth in the spring.
In the new season, Omar Dafa's wards are very good at home so far. There they started with 3-0 against Red Star, and in the last round at the expense of Bakayoko's only goal took maximum points and with Lorient. But on the field of “Bastia” lost 0-1.
Interesting facts and personal meetings
- “Annecy” lost only once in the last five duels
- “Amiens” won twice in the first three rounds
- There have been four duels in total. “Unicorns” won both on their field, but there was a defeat and a draw away.
Annecy vs Amiens Prediction
Bookmakers consider the host side as the favorite. But she is not in form in recent matches, and the guests are generally pragmatic. We expect that here will be “total less than 2.5 goals” (odds - 1.67).
