Head-to-head statistics Annecy - Metz
Annecy Team Overview
Annecy are entering their fifth consecutive season in Ligue 2. Last year, they came close to reaching the playoffs-falling just six points short. The opening ten rounds of that campaign were played away from home, with Dijon hosting Annecy’s “home” fixtures. Laurent Guyot has been at the helm since 2021, having guided the club up from the National division. In 2025, Guyot extended his contract through to 2028. Annecy’s start to the new season has been steady. Guyot’s side picked up three points in Pau and followed that up with a home win over Rodez. On Monday, Annecy suffered a 1-3 defeat in Reims. After three rounds, they sit on six points. Goals tend to come at a premium at Parc des Sports: in 13 of Annecy’s last 14 matches there, both teams have combined for fewer than four goals.

Metz Team Overview
In Ligue 1, Metz lasted just a single season: they finished with 17 points and conceded 76 goals-the worst defensive record in the competition. Their relegation was confirmed with three matches to spare, marking the club’s fourth drop in 11 years. They failed to win a single match in the second half of the campaign. This summer, Luc Holtz took charge. The former Luxembourg national team manager signed a two-year deal and made an immediate impact-Metz edged out Guingamp 2-1 on opening day, their first victory in nine months. Metz have found the net in 12 of their last 13 Ligue 2 fixtures, but it’s done little to change their fortunes. They settled for draws away at Grenoble and Laval, picking up five points from a possible nine. Metz are currently on a run of three consecutive away draws, and they haven’t managed an away win in their last ten outings.

Prediction for the 1st half
First Half Prediction
Annecy have found the net in the first half in six of their last seven Ligue 2 fixtures. At home, they average two goals per match this season. Backing Annecy to score in the first half appears to be a well-founded prediction.
Total Goals Prediction
The visitors have found the net in 12 of their last 13 Ligue 2 fixtures. Metz’s last 6 out of 7 away games have seen over 2.5 goals, with Metz themselves averaging a goal per 90 minutes on the road. They look capable of getting on the scoresheet again in this upcoming clash. The recommended bet is Metz individual total over 0.5.
Safe Bet
Annecy have found the net in 14 of their last 15 home games, averaging two goals per match. The hosts look well-positioned to hit their usual mark once again in the upcoming fixture. The recommended bet is home team total over 1.5 goals.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
At home, Annecy have found the net in 14 of their last 15 matches-making this side of the bet the safest. On the road, Metz both score and concede in six of their last seven Ligue 2 fixtures, so the visitors should cover the other half. Metz have scored more than once away from home just once in their last ten outings, but a single goal from them should be enough for our purposes. We’re expecting goals at both ends. The bet: both teams to score. Predicted score - 2-1.
Will this prediction come true?
