Annecy vs Dunkerque Prediction & Betting Tips (27 January)

While it had to fight for many months to maintain its place in League 2 last season, FC Annecy has clearly reached a milestone this year to the point of being ideally placed in the race for advancement. Indeed, before the start of this 20th day, the Haut Savoyard club occupies 5th place in the ranking with only one point behind 2nd place. And Laurent Guyot's players do not seem ready to give up since they won 2 of their first 3 matches in 2025. Winners of Ajaccio 1-2, they then took the water against Guingamp 1-4 before to win at Troyes 0-1 last weekend. In the meantime, they were still knocked out of the Coupe de France by Stade Briochin. On the Dunkirk side, the situation is very similar to that of their opponent of the day.

15th in the ranking at the end of last season, USLD now occupies 4th place in this championship with the same number of points on the clock as Annecy. However, the recovery after the winter break is quite difficult for this team which has still not won in Ligue 2 in 2025. Hanging by Guingamp 1-1 and Pau 1-1, the Maritimes had to give up their weapons this week last against the Lorient leader 0-1. This week, they will play a late match in the Coupe de France against Haguenau to try to reach the 1/8th finals.

On the Annecy side, the important defender Lajugie and the young defender Valme will both have to throw in the towel for this match. It should be the same for central defender Kouadio and right back Soukouna who were injured against Troyes last week. Otherwise, the Haut Savoyard group should be able to be in full force for this match, particularly on the offensive level.

We should find the interesting Djoco (2 goals, 3 assists), the very good Larose (3 goals and 3 assists in L2) and the young Dago (4 goals). Against Estac, it was the formidable midfielder Demoncy (4 goals, 2 assists) who scored his team's only goal with a splendid volley.
