Match Preview
In this Ligue 2 clash on Friday, Red Star hosts Annecy at the Stade de Paris in Beauvais. Red Star's recent form shows a mixed bag with one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five matches, indicating a struggle to find consistency. Conversely, Annecy has managed two wins in their last five, but they too have faced challenges, particularly in defence, as evidenced by their recent results. Historically, matches between these two sides have been tight, with only two wins across their last ten encounters, suggesting a low-scoring affair is likely.
A key angle to consider is the defensive solidity of both teams, as neither has shown a propensity for high-scoring games, with no matches in their last ten head-to-heads seeing over 2.5 goals or both teams scoring. Given the odds of 2.15 for over 2.5 goals and 1.85 for both teams to score, backing a low-scoring match could be prudent. With both teams aiming for vital points, expect a cautious approach that could result in a draw or a narrow victory for either side.
