Grenoble vs Annecy Prediction 4 September 2026
🔊 Grenoble picked up their first win of the season only last round, away at Laval - where the hosts' new manager Olivier Frapoli had worked for seven years. At home, the picture is different: Grenoble have gone unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 matches. The derby will be refereed by Gaël Angoula, a former Ligue 1 defender turned referee. Grenoble and Annecy meet in this fifth-round fixture on 4 September at the Stade des Alpes.
Head-to-Head
In official meetings between Grenoble and Annecy, the two sides have played 10 matches. The hosts have won five, the visitors two, with three draws. Grenoble also have the edge in goals scored - 12 against 10.
Head-to-head statistics Grenoble - Annecy
Grenoble Team Overview
Grenoble are in Ligue 2 for the ninth consecutive season, having finished 12th last time out. By matchday 30 they had already accumulated 14 draws - more than any other side in the division - and only secured their place in the league in April. They had not won since January before that point. In the summer, Olivier Frapoli, who won the National in 2022, took charge. The squad was overhauled significantly: captain Gaëtan Paquiez left after four seasons, and Yadali Diaby, who had scored 12 goals for the club, departed for MLS on the final day of the transfer window. On that same day, Grenoble signed two defenders but no striker. The start to the season has been disjointed - the team conceded eight goals across their first two away matches. At home they drew 0-0 with Metz and currently sit 13th.
Match Results: Grenoble
Annecy Team Overview
Annecy are in their fifth season in Ligue 2, having finished seventh last time out. The season before that they came sixth - the best finish in the club's history. Laurent Guyot has been in charge at Annecy since 2021, making him the longest-serving manager in Ligue 2. Ahead of the season he spoke only about staying in the division, but four rounds in the tone has changed: seven points and sixth place again. Their one slip came at Reims, where they lost 3-1. At the end of August the club sold forward Ben Amed Touré to English side Barnsley. In the last round Guyot started three attackers aged 20 or under, and that trio overturned a goal deficit.
Match Results: Annecy
Total Goals Prediction
In six of their last seven home matches, Grenoble's games have produced at least three goals. That said, this season the hosts have had seven matches in which neither side scored nor conceded. More importantly, over their last 10 matches they have averaged 1.25 goals, as have Annecy. All of this points towards Total Goals - Under 2.5.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes for this match are: 1-1 (13.81%), 0-1 (11.55%) and 0-0 (10.64%). All three fall within a low-scoring scenario and suggest an evenly contested match. The 1-1 scoreline has the highest probability of the three, though the differences between them are not particularly large.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Grenoble haven't been putting up big numbers in this fixture for some time. They have failed to score more than one goal in six consecutive head-to-head meetings. It's equally quiet at home: in 6 of their last 7 Ligue 2 matches there, fewer than three goals were scored. The visitors look more reliable in front of goal - Annecy have scored in eight consecutive Ligue 2 matches. But their ceiling is visible too: five goals in four rounds. We're not expecting a high-scoring derby. The bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Predicted score - 1:1.
