Caen vs Annecy Prediction & Betting Tips (23 April)

The next few weeks promise to be very interesting for Caen, which dreams of securing a place in the top 5 and being able to take its hot crowd into the play-offs. Everything is still possible for Malherbe who is part of a large list of contenders capable of grabbing a ticket for these play-offs on the 38th day. However, Nicolas Seube's men do not particularly shine with their consistency lately and they alternate between good performances like against QRM 1-2 and Rodez 1-0 and more average copies like against Bordeaux in the meantime 0-1. On Saturday, the Normans will try to achieve a third success in 4 days near Ajaccio. Opposite, Annecy approaches these last days with the wind in its sails and an enormous capital of confidence which will be very important in the race to maintain.

Relegated and quite well behind the first non-relegation team just 2 months ago, this team has completely turned its head around and is now enjoying a string of successes. In a difficult situation, Laurent Guyot's men won 5 victories in a row against Ajaccio 1-3, Bordeaux 3-1, Dunkirk 0-2, Valenciennes 2-1 and Laval 0-3 and they will aim for a 6th victory on Saturday in the derby of the Alps facing Grenoble. Thanks to this excellent dynamic, the Haut-Savoyards were even able to leave the red zone and they are now well enough placed to consider maintaining their position.

Injured for a few weeks now, the formidable winger Kyeremeh (3 goals, 6 assists) and the young Hafid who are still hampered by respective physical problems. On the other hand, Nicolas Seube records the return of the young defender Meddah who was suspended last weekend for an accumulation of yellow cards. Up front, center forward Alexandre Mendy is still in 1st place in the Ligue 2 scorers' rankings with 19 goals. The full-backs Abdi (8 goals) and Henry (7 assists) and the experienced Autret (6 assists) are also doing great things this season. Opposite, Laurent Guyot will have to take into account the absences of the attackers Spano (1 goal) and Bosetti (1 goal) as well as that of playmaker Adeline.

Left injured Laval 10 days ago, experienced midfielder Pajot also joined the infirmary and he should not be present either. Finally, the attacker Caddy (4 goals) risks being left behind again. Arriving this winter in Haute Savoie, Djoco and Camara (4 goals each) are no strangers to Annecy's good series. Both should start while Ntamack (9 goals) should take his place on the bench.
