Sochaux vs Annecy Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 23 October 2026
π Annecy have scored in every one of their nine Ligue 2 matches this season. On Friday, Laurent Guillot's side travel to opponents who had conceded very little until last weekend. Excluding their opening defeat to leaders Saint-Γtienne, Sochaux had let in just three goals across seven matches. But in Metz, Vincent Hognon's side conceded that same number in a single evening. Was that a one-off or the start of a decline?

Head-to-head statistics Sochaux - Annecy
Sochaux Team Overview
In their last match, Sochaux lost to Metz (2-3). They were 0-2 down at half-time but ended up having more shots - 18 to 13.
Sochaux are playing cautiously. Vincent Hognon's side have drawn five of their nine league matches, more than all but two teams in the division. They have scored just seven goals, fewer than everyone except Boulogne. That leaves them 11th: only two defeats, but they have won as many times as that.
The match in Metz was an exception to that pattern. By the half-hour mark Metz were two goals up, and Sochaux pulled one back shortly after the break. On 77 minutes the hosts went two ahead again, and a reply in stoppage time changed nothing: Sochaux lost 3-2. That said, it was the first time Hognon's side had scored twice in a single match this season. At home, Sochaux have gone unbeaten in 13 of their last 14 matches.
Match Results: Sochaux
Annecy Team Overview
Annecy lost at home to Nancy (1-2) in their last Ligue 2 match. The visitors were clearly superior in shots - 14 to 7 - and in xG: 1.77 against 0.36.
Annecy are strong away from home but have been struggling on their own patch. Nine of the 13 points Laurent Guillot's side have accumulated have come from five away matches. At home, Annecy have lost two matches in a row, both by a score of 1-2, and both times the decisive moments came late on. Against Dijon, the team were leading from the end of the first half but conceded twice in the final quarter of an hour. Against Nancy, Guillot's side equalised after the break, only for Alexis Cazadei to put the ball into his own net on the 89th minute. Friday brings an away fixture for Annecy.

Corners Prediction
Sochaux have had more than four corners in just one of their last seven matches. We don't expect the hosts to reach five. The bet is Sochaux Team Total Corners - Under 4.5.
Safer Bet
At home, Sochaux have lost just one of their last 14 matches. Across the entire current season, they also have only one defeat at home. The bet is Sochaux not to lose.
Correct Score Prediction
The most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12.74%), 1-0 (12.53%) and 0-0 (10.39%). All three are close in probability, but the 1-1 draw stands out slightly from the rest.
β Editorial Prediction
Annecy have scored in 13 consecutive Ligue 2 matches, and in seven on the road. The hosts are in similar form: Sochaux have failed to score at home just once in their last 14 games. Annecy also concede regularly - both teams have scored in 6 of their last 7 meetings. The visitors' run should continue on Friday, but Sochaux are unlikely to go without a goal at home either. The pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
