Match Preview
Clermont hosts Annecy at the Stade Gabriel Montpied in what promises to be an intriguing Ligue 2 encounter. The home side comes into this match with a solid run of form, having gone unbeaten in their last five matches, including three wins. In contrast, Annecy has struggled for consistency, managing just one win in their last five outings. This disparity in form could play a crucial role, as Clermont looks to leverage their home advantage against a team that has shown vulnerabilities on the road.
Historically, Clermont has had the upper hand in their recent meetings with Annecy, winning two of the last three encounters. However, both teams have shown a tendency to score, with only one of their last ten matches ending with fewer than three goals. This suggests that while Clermont may be favoured to win, the match could also see both teams finding the back of the net. With both sides keen to secure points, expect an open contest that could provide plenty of goal-scoring opportunities.
