The 2026-2027 Ligue 2 season is set to kick off this Saturday, August 8, at 8:45 PM with an important match between Pau and FC Annecy. Fans will have the opportunity to watch the game live on beIN Sports channels.
Under Laurent Guyot's leadership, who placed seventh in Ligue 2 last season, the Annecy team started their preparation with a victory against Villefranche (L3) but then lost to Sion (Switzerland) and Nancy (L2). They also drew against Bastia (L3), which suggests a promising upcoming campaign.
On the other hand, Pau began their season with two victories over Real Sociedad (Spain) and Tarbes (N1). However, they have since lost in three recent matches to Espanyol Barcelone (Spain), Real Sociedad B (Spanish Ligue 2), and Real Union (Spanish Ligue 3).
It is worth noting that during their last visit to Pau, Annecy was defeated 2-0 at the start of the previous season. This match will therefore be crucial for the players' confidence and the morale of the supporters.
