FC Annecy approaches its match at Guingamp this Saturday, September 12, from a position of strength, sitting second in the Ligue 2 table. The Haut-Savoyard club has just won the Alpine derby in the dying moments and is currently linked with an attacking reinforcement.
The sixth-round fixture between EA Guingamp and FC Annecy will be broadcast live on beIN Sports 2 this Saturday at 2 PM. The match will also be followed with live commentary. The Annecy side, carrying 10 points after five matches, faces a Guingamp team occupying 11th place with five points.
This match represents another away test for an Annecy team that has already shown its character. They come into it with a record of three wins, one draw, and one loss, having scored seven goals and conceded five. The club can check its full schedule for the rest of the season.
FC Annecy snatched a valuable victory on the pitch of GF38 during the fifth round last Friday. Leading 1-0 after a goal from Rambaud in the 66th minute, the Haut-Savoyards conceded an equalizer from Grenoble's Diba ten minutes later. It was ultimately Paul Venot who secured the three points for his team by scoring the winning goal in first-half stoppage time, in the 91st minute.
This success allowed Annecy to climb provisionally to the second step of the Ligue 2 podium. This performance was described as a "fine operation" for the visiting team. This victory in a regional derby gives a boost to Annecy's start to the season, which now sits five points behind the leader, Saint-Étienne. Fans can follow the evolution of the league standings as the season progresses.
FC Annecy is interested in the profile of Tunisian-French forward Fares Bousnina. The 20-year-old player, developed at OGC Nice, currently plays for Bologna FC's U20 team in Italy. He joined the Italian club in August 2025 for a fee estimated at €300,000, and his contract runs until June 2027.
Bousnina, born in La Seyne-sur-Mer, has not yet played a match for Bologna's Primavera this season. His current market value is estimated at €100,000. A move to Annecy would represent a return to France for the young center-forward, who is eligible to represent either Tunisia or France internationally. The Ligue 2 club could thus strengthen its attacking department for the long season ahead.
FC Annecy is showing a positive sequence of results with two consecutive wins in the league. Their recent form, noted as WDLWW, shows a team capable of reacting after a draw and a loss. The squad managed by Laurent Guyot seems to have found a certain balance, particularly in defense where only five goals have been conceded.
Individual player statistics are available on our dedicated stats page. The win at Grenoble, obtained at the last moment, demonstrates strong mentality and an ability to stay focused until the final whistle. These qualities will be needed for the trip to Guingamp, whose team snatched a draw at Reims during the fourth matchday. The game will be played on September 12, 2026, at the Stade du Roudourou.
