Head-to-head statistics Reims - Annecy
Stade Reims Team Overview
Reims were relegated from Ligue 1 in 2025 and failed to come straight back up, finishing sixth with 56 points. A key factor was their draw record - 14 draws across the season against just six defeats. Keito Nakamura was their top scorer with 14 goals. In May, the club parted ways with Karel Geraerts and appointed Nicolas Usaï, who had previously been in charge at Pau. Over the summer, goalkeeper Yoann Jouen was sold to Newcastle and midfielder Éloïse Zabi to Paris, while the most notable arrival was defender Samuel Cotto from Ghent for four million euros. Reims opened the season with a goalless draw at Clermont. At home, they have gone unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 Ligue 2 matches, though they concede regularly - their most recent home game ended 3-3 against Dunkerque.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Annecy have gone unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 Ligue 2 matches - a run stretching back to last spring. Reims have both scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 league games, and the visitors look likely to get their moment here too. Draws have been a familiar result for the hosts - that was the pattern last season, and two rounds into the new campaign, the new manager hasn't changed that. We expect Annecy to take at least a point from Reims. The bet is Annecy not to lose. Predicted score: 1-1.
