- Competition: Ligue 2
- Date: Monday, 27th January 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Parc des Sports (Annecy)
Annecy have one of the best seasons in the club's history. They are currently fourth on the table with only four points fewer than the league leaders, Lorient. It is still too early to talk about promotion, but it would be completely surprising to see one of the league's lowest-budget teams find a way to Ligue 1. Annecy played well in the last two months as they lost only two of the previous ten games in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Troyes. The home side finished the match with xG of 2.05, while the guests had only 0.54, but Annecy still secured another valuable victory.
Dunkerque surely have a bigger budget than Annecy, but they are another Cinderella story in Ligue 2 this season. After 20 league rounds, Dunkerque is fifth on the table, with also four points fewer than the league leader. Luis Castro's team lost only one of the last six matches. In the previous game, they won 3-1 on the road in the cup against Haguenau. The guests were losing until the 75th minute, but they scored three goals in the rest of the match and won.
Annecy vs Dunkerque pick: Under 2.5 goals
Annecy allowed only eight goals in nine home matches this season. On the other hand, Dunkerque scored only 11 goals in nine road games. We shouldn't see more than two goals in the game between Annecy and Dunkerque.

Annecy team news
Annecy loaned Sidi Bane last week from Lens. The talented center-back came as a substitute for an injured Julien Kouadio. If Kouadio can't play, Bane could start on Monday night. In the previous round, Hamjatou Soukouna also suffered an injury, and his status is in the air.
