Betting tip and prediction for this match between Pau vs Annecy
Match preview: Pau vs Annecy
Pau and Annecy will clash at Stade Du Hameau Idron 1, marking the opening round of Ligue 2. Historical match data at this venue suggests a balanced confrontation between these teams, evidenced by one draw and one win for each in their last three encounters. Notably, during their last meeting at this stadium on 28 March 2025, Pau secured a narrow victory by a score of 1-0, thanks to a late goal from Mehdi Chahiri (89′). It is vital to consider their home and away performances, as Pau tends to yield different results based on their venue.
Team analysis: Pau
This will be Pau’s first match in the current edition of the competition, having wrapped up the previous season in 13th place. They generally perform better at home, with a record of 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 fixtures. However, they struggled on the road, managing only 2 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses. Their latest outing ended in a defeat to Rodez (2-4). Of their last 10 home matches, Pau has achieved 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses. While defensive reliability has been an issue, conceding in 7 of those 10 matches, their attack has found the net in 8 occasions. Notably, in 15 matches where they conceded first, they have failed to come back in any. Pau understands the importance of starting well in Ligue 2 and should take the initiative in this match, aiming for an early goal to instill confidence. Winning is crucial, but they’ll need to maintain focus over the full 90 minutes.
Team analysis: Annecy
Annecy is also set to debut in this edition, having finished last season in 6th place. They have maintained solid performance away from home, tallying 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses across their last 30 matches compared to 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses at their home venue. The team approaches this fixture on the back of a solid 3-1 victory against Grenoble Foot 38. Over their last 10 outings in all competitions, Annecy has recorded 4 wins but suffered 6 losses. Their defence has faced challenges, conceding in 7 of the last 10, while their attack has been consistent, finding the net in 8 matches. In the instances where they conceded the first goal, they struggled to turn the scoreline around on 7 occasions. Furthermore, they scored 9 of their 25 goals within the initial 15 minutes of play away from home. Annecy is aware that this match won’t be straightforward, but they are eager to secure a positive result in this opener, leveraging the lessons from last season when they narrowly missed promotion. Their approach should be cautious yet opportunistic, capitalising on any gaps left by Pau during the match.
