Annecy's defensive statistics raise concerns ahead of their trip to Dunkerque this Friday, October 9. The Savoyard club is conceding an average of 1.71 goals per game in Ligue 2 this season and has yet to keep a single clean sheet.
This defensive fragility contrasts with an attack that averages 1.43 goals per match. The goalkeepers' save percentage stands at 64%, while 44% of the team's shots are on target. These numbers partly explain the mixed start to the season. Annecy currently sits 7th in the championship with 10 points after seven matchdays, six points behind leaders Saint-Étienne.
Recent form, with three defeats, one draw and one win in the last five matches, confirms this trend. The last outing ended in a 1-2 home defeat to Dijon on September 18. The upcoming fixtures now see Dunkerque, 12th in the table, as the next opponent. A look at the team's season statistics also shows the collective has conceded 105 fouls and won 34 corners so far.
