Annecy – Nancy

Annecy host Nancy in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the league table. Sitting fourth with ten points from six games – three wins, a draw and two defeats – Annecy have a slender +1 goal difference (8‑7) and will be eager to extend their push for the top spots. Nancy, currently tenth with seven points (two wins, one draw, three losses) and an even 4‑4 tally, will need to tighten up defensively if they hope to climb out of the lower half. The two sides have met only sparingly this season, but the gap in recent form suggests Annecy enter the match as clear favourites, while Nancy will be looking for a surprise that could revive their campaign.
