In the last two meetings, Annecy have not beaten Montpellier at all — the most recent ended 0-0 at their own home, and before that they lost 0-1 at Montpellier. This time the situation is different because the two sides are in different form. Annecy return home after a 3-1 win in their last match, and across the season they have scored 14 goals in 10 games, but there are still gaps in their defence, especially late in games when they concede often. Montpellier, meanwhile, are on a winning run and unbeaten in 5 straight, a team that controls the ball more (57.2% possession in their last 10 games) and clearly concedes fewer goals. This game is likely to shape up with Montpellier dominating the ball and pushing high, while Annecy sit deep and wait to counter with speed. If Annecy handle the early period and don't concede first, the game will stretch out and has a chance of finishing close. The first thing to watch is how well Annecy cope with Montpellier's build-up in the first half.
