Troyes vs Annecy prediction and betting tips on January 20, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 19th round of Ligue 2 France, on January 20, 2025, Troyes will face Annecy. Both teams need the points: the hosts are fighting for survival, while the visitors still have hopes of promotion to Ligue 1.
Our Prediction for Troyes vs Annecy
Troyes has never let its supporters get bored. In 2021, they returned to Ligue 1, but have since faced two consecutive relegations. They were saved from falling to the third tier due to Bordeaux's financial troubles. A similar situation occurred with Annecy: their recent stint in Ligue 1 almost ended in relegation to the third division in 2023, but the club survived thanks to Sochaux's bankruptcy. Last season, they showed they had a place in Ligue 2, finishing 14th with 46 points.
Currently, the results of both clubs are very different. Under the management of Stéphane Dumont, Troyes risks relegation after losing half of their matches. However, after a terrible start, they seem to have revived in the latter part of autumn and January. Unfortunately, they lost in their most recent match against Rodez. They redeemed themselves in the Cup against Rennes, winning 1-0. Annecy's manager, Giyu, wins twice as often as he loses, keeping his team near the top of the table. However, their shocking 1-4 loss to Guingamp in the last round was unexpected. They also lost to Briochin in the Cup, after a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw.
The hosts score just over one goal per match but concede only slightly more at 1.17. The visitors have better stats but still not particularly impressive, with 1.44 goals scored and 1.28 conceded per match.
