Caen vs Annecy Prediction & Betting Tips (30 August)

Against all expectations, Caen got off to a very bad start in this Ligue 2 championship. Often cited among the teams capable of playing leading roles this season, Malherbe has already suffered 2 setbacks in as many days. The Normans first lost quite logically at home against Paris FC 2-0 for what was the opening shock of this 2024-2025 financial year, before suffering a new defeat, Friday evening, on the side of Pau 1-0 after having played a good part of this meeting at 11 against 9. This poor performance is quite worrying for Nicolas Seube's men who will have to quickly raise the bar so as not to see all their hopes of progress disappear. quickly.

Opposite, FC Annecy does not have the same dreams of grandeur as its opponent of the day and it should, like last year, above all seek to quickly maintain itself in the 2nd level of French football. Saved thanks to its very good end to the season last spring, the club coached by Laurent Guyot carried out a very good operation by winning against Dunkirk during the first day 0-2, one of its direct competitors in the race to maintain. On the other hand, the Reds lost last Friday against a promoted player, Martigues, in a show where they showed a lot of excitement in the defensive sector.

When Annecy come calling in the Ligue 2, excitement tends to be in short supply, with at least one of the two teams pitching a shutout in 14 of their previous 21 away games. It has been a similar story as far as Caen are concerned on their own patch of late, with both teams on target in just two of their last nine matches at this level, so something similar seems likely.
