Amiens vs Annecy Prediction & Betting Tips (22 August)

Amiens SC and Annecy FC are set to clash on August 22, 2025, at Stade Crédit Agricole de la Licorne in what promises to be a tightly contested Ligue 2 encounter. Amiens, under the guidance of manager Omar Daf, are looking to build on their recent home form, having edged Annecy 1–0 in their last meeting thanks to a goal from Antoine Leautey. The team has shown resilience despite a mixed run of results, with standout performances from Sébastien Corchia, who leads the squad in big chances created, and Yohan Demoncy, who tops the league in the same category. Amiens have also kept the most clean sheets in the division, a testament to their defensive discipline.

Annecy, managed by Laurent Guyot, arrive with a slightly better overall form, sitting higher in the table after 21 matches with 33 points compared to Amiens’ 29. Their recent away win against AC Ajaccio and a hard-fought draw against Stade Briochin reflect a team capable of grinding out results. However, defensive lapses have cost them dearly, as seen in their 4–1 home defeat to Guingamp. Kapitbafan Djoco remains a key figure in attack, and the midfield duo of Vincent Pajot and Quentin Paris will be crucial in controlling the tempo against Amiens’ pressing style.

Both teams are expected to field strong lineups, with Amiens likely to rely on the creativity of Rayan Lutin and the experience of Corchia to unlock Annecy’s backline. Annecy, meanwhile, will hope Djoco can replicate his scoring touch, supported by the industrious Pajot in midfield. Tactical flexibility could be the difference-maker, with Daf’s preference for compact defensive setups potentially frustrating Annecy’s attacking ambitions. The head-to-head record is evenly split, adding another layer of unpredictability to the fixture.

Given the current dynamics and recent performances, a 2–1 victory for Amiens seems a plausible outcome. Their home advantage, combined with a more cohesive defensive unit and the ability to capitalize on key moments, gives them the edge. Annecy will likely find the net through Djoco or a set-piece opportunity, but Amiens’ structure and individual brilliance should see them through. Expect a tense match with flashes of quality, where Amiens narrowly outmaneuver Annecy in a result that could shape early-season momentum.
