Razzimuts rely on set-pieces and width for goals
Didier Santini has set Rodez up in a back three system with wing-backs either side of the defenders in recent weeks, so as to exploit width and create opportunities for set-pieces. The current Rodez Aveyron vs Annecy FC prediction is influenced by this tactical setup, which has seen Rodez create plenty of danger in transition when they win the ball back in the opposition half, and then attack quickly to overload the flanks with crosses and deliver into the box.
Annecy FC are much more compact, with Laurent Guyot setting his side up in a 4-2-3-1 and organising his players into a disciplined double pivot that frustrates opponents and holds a compact block. They are extremely dangerous on counter-attack as they can bring their number ten and two wingers into the play through the centre of the field.
Annecy’s defensive organisation is key
This fixture has been closely contested in the last 3 meetings between the two sides with each side taking 1 win, and the other ending a 1-1 draw in Ligue 2 2024/2025.
