Guingamp welcome Annecy to the Stade du Roudourou on September 12, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 12:00 local time. This Ligue 2 fixture brings together two teams whose opening five matches have produced contrasting records. The hosts have struggled to convert competitive performances into victories, recording one win, two draws and two defeats, while Annecy have collected three wins, one draw and one loss. Guingamp enter the sixth round in 11th place, whereas the visitors occupy second position. Although the home side have scored regularly, defensive vulnerability has repeatedly held them back. Annecy, meanwhile, arrive with greater momentum after taking four points from matches against Metz and Grenoble Foot 38. With both teams averaging 1.4 goals scored per game, this contest offers an intriguing test of Guingamp's home ambitions and Annecy's strong start.

Guingamp's Recent Form and Key Statistics

Guingamp have won only once across their first five Ligue 2 fixtures, adding two draws and suffering two defeats. Their most recent league appearance ended in a 2-2 draw against Reims on September 5. That result followed another high-scoring stalemate, a 3-3 draw with Nantes, underlining both the attacking potential and defensive problems experienced by Sylvain Ripoll's team.

The hosts are averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per match. Those figures leave them with a negative scoring balance despite finding the net at a respectable rate. Seven goals scored across five matches show that Guingamp can create opportunities, but eight conceded demonstrate why victories have been difficult to secure. Their challenge against Annecy will be to preserve the attacking output seen in their recent draws while bringing greater control to the other end of the pitch.

Guingamp's last five-match record reads one victory, two draws and two losses, matching their overall Ligue 2 return this season. They therefore approach this home fixture searching for a more decisive result after sharing the points in consecutive matches. One additional pattern concerns corners: fewer than 7.5 corners have been taken in each of Guingamp's last four home league games.

• Ligue 2 record: one win, two draws and two defeats.
• Scoring average: 1.4 goals per match.
• Conceding average: 1.6 goals per match.
• Latest result: a 2-2 draw with Reims.

Annecy's Recent Form and Key Statistics

Annecy have made the stronger start, winning three of their five league matches while drawing once and losing once. Their only stated defeat came away to Reims by a 3-1 scoreline. They responded by drawing 1-1 with Metz before earning a 2-1 victory at Grenoble Foot 38 on September 4. That latest success was secured in the closing stages of the Alpine derby and gives Laurent Guyot's side a positive result to build upon.

The visitors have matched Guingamp's attacking average of 1.4 goals per game, but their defensive numbers are better. Annecy have conceded an average of 1.0 goal per match, compared with Guingamp's 1.6. Their five-game sequence of three wins, one draw and one defeat explains why they begin this match in second place and with more points gained from the same number of fixtures.

Several away and first-half trends also stand out. Annecy have avoided draws in 19 of their last 20 away matches, suggesting that their games on the road have usually produced a winner. They have led at half-time in eight of their last 13 away fixtures and in six of their last 10 Ligue 2 away matches. The same half-time record of six wins from 10 also applies to their latest league games and their last 10 matches overall.

Another notable statistic is that at least one side failed to score before half-time in 30 of Annecy's last 32 Ligue 2 matches. This does not necessarily point to a goalless opening period, particularly when considered alongside Annecy's repeated half-time advantages, but it does indicate that first-half scoring has often been one-sided.

• Ligue 2 record: three wins, one draw and one defeat.
• Scoring average: 1.4 goals per match.
• Conceding average: 1.0 goal per match.
• Latest result: a 2-1 victory over Grenoble Foot 38.

Guingamp vs Annecy Match Analysis

This fixture presents a clear contrast between Guingamp's recent tendency to draw high-scoring matches and Annecy's more productive overall record. The hosts scored five times across their draws with Nantes and Reims, but they also conceded five. Annecy have been more efficient over the opening five rounds, combining the same scoring average with a lower rate of goals allowed.

The head-to-head summary also gives Guingamp reason for caution. Across the listed meetings with Annecy, their record is one win, one draw and three defeats, with averages of 1.4 goals scored and 2.2 conceded. The latest encounter finished 1-0 on April 3, 2026, showing that this match-up can also produce a narrow scoreline despite the broader scoring figures.

The supplied probabilities make Guingamp the most likely individual winner at 43%, compared with 31% for Annecy and 26% for the draw. However, current form favors the visitors: Annecy have three victories from five matches, while Guingamp have only one. The attacking data remains finely balanced, with both teams averaging 1.4 goals, while the probability of both teams scoring is 55% and the probability of over 2.5 goals is 52%.

The first half may be especially important. Annecy's record of leading at the interval in six of their last 10 Ligue 2 matches, including six of their last 10 away league games, provides strong support for an opening goal before the break. Guingamp's recent 3-3 and 2-2 draws further show that their matches have contained enough attacking activity for an early breakthrough to be a realistic outcome.
