Victories have not come easily for Annecy so far, and the same description fits Nîmes. These hardened teams eye some much needed points here.
- Annecy have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Nîmes have the fewest points (2) away in Ligue 2
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

In the game before, a nice away victory at Lyon Duchere. A Coupe de France match. This is expected to be a close game, with Annecy perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

It should be added that a look at the 12 most recent league games shows that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

Nîmes form and stats
There's been little loot from Nîmes's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 8 away games in the Ligue 2. Nîmes only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
The manager Usaï was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Stade des Costières. Nîmes suffered a 1-2 loss to Guingamp (placed 8th).

Attacker Tchokounté got a player rating of 7.42 in the game. "Man of the match" Tchokounté scored one goal and hit three key passes.
Before that, the Coupe de France win away at Montauban FC TG. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 11 similar matches played by Nîmes in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Nîmes, 3 draws and 6 defeats.
