Dunkerque and Annecy meet so often that they have become a pair who know each other's game well, and in the last six meetings Dunkerque have never won, losing as many as four times. This time both come in with points very close together: Dunkerque have 8 points from 7 matches, sitting 12th, while Annecy have 10 points, sitting 7th. Dunkerque have just lost 0-2 in the league, and their latest league match ended the same way, while Annecy have just won 2-1, but before that they lost two in a row by the same 1-2 scoreline. The defence is not steady on either side, especially late in games, where Dunkerque concede as much as 29% of their goals in the 76-90 minute period, and Annecy also suffer heavily in the same period, at 33%. But the pattern of play is not the same. Dunkerque have more possession and more shots on target in their last ten matches, while Annecy focus on waiting for their moment and moving the ball quickly. This game is likely to be a trade of blows that does not quite open up, because both know that conceding first makes the game immediately harder. Dunkerque will have more of the ball and try to push the game up step by step, while Annecy will wait to counter and use their sharpness in the penalty area. What to watch is the first half: both tend to start slowly and wait for their moment first.
