Annecy vs Montpellier Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 31 October 2026
🔊 Last season, Annecy FC met Montpellier twice in Ligue 2 and failed to score on either occasion. Now the hosts have found the net in 13 consecutive league matches.

Head-to-head statistics Annecy - Montpellier
Annecy Team Overview
Annecy FC's most recent Ligue 2 match ended in a 3-1 win over Sochaux. Despite having fewer shots - 14 against 18 - they generated more expected goals: 2.41 to 1.11.
Annecy FC pick up points away from home but struggle on their own patch. Laurent Guillot's side have lost their last two home matches by the same scoreline of 1-2. Against Dijon they were even leading at half-time before conceding twice. The 1-2 scoreline is something of a recurring theme: three of Annecy FC's last four league defeats have ended that way. Away from home it is a different story. Last round Annecy FC beat Sochaux 3-1, with Moïse Sahi Dion scoring twice. The side currently sit seventh, five points behind Montpellier.

Montpellier Team Overview
Montpellier beat Red Star 2-1 at home in the previous Ligue 2 round, despite being outshot 6-14 and losing the expected goals count 0.57-1.07.
Montpellier are making their way in Ligue 2 on the back of their defence. Six of their ten matches have ended without conceding a goal, which has them sitting second on 21 points. They concede so rarely that they have suffered just one defeat all season - away to leaders Saint-Étienne in early September. Since then, Kamara's side have taken 13 points from a possible 15. On Monday, Montpellier beat Red Star at home, a fellow side from the upper reaches of the table.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Annecy FC have scored in 16 of their last 17 home Ligue 2 matches. In 6 of their last 7 league games, they have both scored and conceded. So we expect the league's best defence to be breached this time. Montpellier have scored in seven consecutive away matches. Camara's side have failed to score in just one of their last 13 league outings. That means we're also expecting Montpellier to get on the scoresheet. Our pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes.
Will this prediction come true?
