Troyes is currently at the top of the Ligue 2 standings, showcasing a strong performance this season. They recently secured a 2-1 victory against Clermont, marking their third consecutive win with an impressive aggregate score of 8-3 over that span.

In contrast, Annecy is looking to recover from a disappointing 3-0 loss to Le Mans in their last match. Despite this setback, Annecy has shown resilience, having lost just one of their previous eight Ligue 2 appearances.

Annecy’s recent home form has been relatively strong, with the team registering 10 points from their last four home Ligue 2 matches. Their last home game ended in a 2-1 victory against Red Star, demonstrating their ability to perform well in familiar surroundings.

However, Annecy has struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet at home since November 21st. This could be a concern as they prepare to face a Troyes team that has scored 42 goals in Ligue 2 this season, holding the second-best attacking tally in the league.
