Prediction Amiens SC vs Annecy 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Ligue 2 on 22/08/2025

Form guide and context

Amiens SC welcome Annecy to the Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne on 22/08/2025 with momentum on their side. The hosts sit second in the early table with four points from two matches, having delivered a convincing 3-1 victory over Red Star in their most recent outing and sharing the spoils in a 2-2 encounter with Reims earlier. That recent win featured Teddy Averlant as the standout performer, and it underlines a team that has produced five wins in their last ten results according to the form snapshot, a sequence laced with attacking output.

Annecy arrive in contrasting fashion. Fifteenth in the standings with a single point from two fixtures, they eked out a 2-2 draw with Dunkerque last time but had fallen 2-0 to Pau the week before. Their form is patchy, a mixture of draws and alternating results across the last ten, and while they can find the net — scoring twice in each of the last two competitive fixtures — they have also shown defensive vulnerabilities that Amiens could exploit.

Key numbers to watch

Statistically the fixture leans toward an open, attacking contest. Amiens averages more total and accurate shooting, with 21 total shots and eight on target across the sample against Annecy’s 12 and four respectively. Amiens also lead in corners and dangerous attacks, suggesting they will press for control in the final third at home. Both sides arrive without recent clean sheets, and Amiens’ matches have all gone over 2.5 goals so far in the small sample, while Annecy have produced mixed over/under results but are no strangers to high-scoring encounters. Recent head-to-head history favours the hosts as well, with Amiens taking a 1-0 win when they met earlier in the season.

Tactical outlook and prediction

Expectation is for Amiens to take the initiative. They have the sharper attacking numbers and will be buoyed by home comfort and a more consistent set of results to start the campaign. Annecy can respond and hit on the counter — their home and away performances suggest they are capable of troubling opponents — but defensive lapses and a lower points haul so far make them the underdogs heading into this trip to Amiens.

On balance, the smart call is to back Amiens to claim the three points. The home side’s recent victory, superior shot profile and the psychological edge from the earlier head-to-head win point to a home success.

Betting suggestion

Based on the available data, the recommended bet is a 1X2 selection: Amiens SC to win at odds of 2.20. This choice blends form, home advantage and attacking statistics into a value selection for the fixture.
