Annecy host Montpellier in Ligue 2. Montpellier go into this one sitting comfortably the higher of the two sides, while Annecy's season has had more bumps along the way.
Annecy's home results haven't settled into a pattern, with wins and losses trading places most weeks, and Montpellier arrive unbeaten in their last four. How that run holds up away from home is the open question here.

Form guide
Annecy's recent run has been genuinely mixed. They've beaten Grenoble and Sochaux in among that, but losses to Nancy, Dijon and Guingamp have crept in too, so there's no real pattern to lean on either way.

Montpellier look the steadier of the two right now. They're unbeaten in their last four league games, and crucially three of their recent wins have come on the road, at Rodez, Dunkerque and Nancy. That away pedigree matters given where this game is being played.
Montpellier's recent away wins suggest they travel well, which counts for something here.

| Ligue 2 | Montpellier | Annecy | 07.11.2025 | 1-0 |

| 9 | Dijon | 9 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 16/16 | 12 |
The goals tell a similar story. Montpellier have conceded just five all season, whereas Annecy have let in eleven. That defensive solidity has been a big part of Montpellier's climb up the table.

Players to watch
Annecy's P. Venot has been their main creative outlet, picking up two assists in seven matches. Keeping him involved will be important if Annecy are going to create problems for a tight Montpellier defence.
On the discipline side, Montpellier's D. Meddah has picked up four yellow cards in six games, so he's one booking away from a ban. Annecy's C. Billemaz has already been sent off once this season, which is worth bearing in mind if tempers flare.

Montpellier look the more settled side based on recent results and their defensive numbers, but Annecy have shown in patches that they can beat decent opposition too.
With no pricing to weigh up, this is one to watch rather than back blindly.
