Preview: FC Annecy Hosts Pau in Ligue 2 Clash

PARIS (Interstat) — FC Annecy will look to continue its recent scoring surge when it hosts Pau in a French Ligue 2 match on Friday, April 24, 2026.

The matchup at Annecy’s home ground presents a contrast in recent form. Annecy is coming off a dominant 5-1 road victory over Nancy last Friday, which featured a breakout offensive performance. Prior to that, the side earned a scoreless draw against Montpellier and a 1-0 win over Guingamp.

Pau, meanwhile, enters with momentum from a 2-1 home win against Guingamp, also on April 17. However, its form has been inconsistent, with a 4-0 loss to Le Mans FC earlier in April mixed with positive results like a 3-0 win over Red Star in February.

The head-to-head history favors the visitors. In their last meeting on Aug. 9, 2025, Pau secured a 2-0 home victory over Annecy.

Annecy’s home record this season has been uneven, with notable wins over Clermont and Red Star but also heavy defeats to sides like Saint-Etienne II. Pau’s road form includes a recent 1-0 win at Amiens AC U19 but also a lopsided loss at Le Mans.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw.

The game is part of the final stretch of the Ligue 2 season. Annecy’s next scheduled match is at home against Rodez on May 9. Pau is set to host Nancy on May 2 before traveling to face Reims U19 on May 9.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. local time in Annecy.
