This match features two teams living in the basement of the National, Annecy holding 17th place and Sète lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Insights:
  • Annecy has the most conceded goals (32) in National
  • Sète has the fewest scored goals in the first half (4) in National

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Coupe de France. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Seyssinet.

Annecy form and stats

Annecy's results here at Parc des Sports in the National have been very modest with 1 victory, 6 draws and 2 defeats. Two draws in a row at home now for Annecy.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a National home game that ended 2-2 versus Bourg-en-Bresse.

As mentioned above, Annecy "killed" Seyssinet in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

This is expected to be a close game, with Annecy perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Annecy as a small favourite), we find five games. Annecy has won one of these, drawn three and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Annecy as they are travelling to their away game against Venissieux in the Coupe de France. That match is three days after this one.

The Annecy fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. Annecy have conceded 14 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Sète form and stats

Sète have only collected 5 points from their away games in the National, after 1-2-7 (10 played). The last three matches for Sète have all ended in a draw.

Sète are looking to quickly end their 471 minutes long goal drought in the National. 272 minutes! That's how long the Sète goalkeeper Vincent Pappalardo and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Sète's last game was the home draw against Cholet (0-0). Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Lyon Duchère.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sète playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Sète wins, three draws and three defeats.

A new game in only four days for Sète, the National home match versus Quevilly Rouen. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Sète struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 16 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Sète - Annecy 0-0.
