Pau vs Annecy Prediction 8 August 2026
🔉 In the first round of Ligue 2, Pau and Annecy will meet each other.

Annecy had a very short pre-season, playing just three matches. They failed to win any of them: they lost to Sion (0:4) and drew with Nancy (1:1) and Bastia (2:2). It is clear that Annecy conceded in every match, so the rock-solid defence that defined them last season has shown cracks.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Results from previous seasons make it clear: Pau consistently put on an entertaining show at home, but rarely get the result they need to compete for the upper part of the table in front of their own supporters. The double chance x2 trend is backed up by the hosts' weak home form and Annecy's recent success across all competitions. The visitors look objectively stronger in terms of quality of play and consistency of results this pre-season. The editors go with the double chance on Annecy (x2).
