Today the first final playoff match for the right to play in Ligue 1 will take place, featuring Saint-Étienne and Metz. This showdown will be decisive in the battle for a spot in France's elite division.
Football Club Saint-Étienne finished the season in 3rd place in the French Ligue 2 standings. Over 38 games, the team accumulated 65 points, which was insufficient for direct promotion to the top division.
The team's record includes 19 wins, 11 losses, and 8 draws, with a goal difference of 48:31. Their match against Rodez from Ligue 1 ended in a 2-0 victory for Saint-Étienne, who displayed confident play, taking the lead in the 64th minute and securing the win in the final stages.
On 19 May, Metz faced the championship leader Paris Saint-Germain in their latest match. Unfortunately for the team from Lorraine, this match ended in a 0:2 defeat. Currently, Metz ranks 16th in the Ligue 1 standings for the 2023/2024 season, having accumulated 29 points from 34 games. This record comprises 8 wins, 5 draws, and 21 losses, with their goal tally standing at 35 scored and 58 conceded.
The situation for the team in the league remains tense, with the upcoming games becoming crucial in their fight to retain a place in France's elite football division. In their last five matches, Metz managed just 1 win, suffering 4 defeats.
Metz is on a losing streak and narrowly avoided direct relegation from Ligue 1. They have one last chance; I'll take a risk and bet on the guests not losing in the first match. In all their defeats, Metz played well and often lost to motivated opponents by a single goal.
