We won’t have to wait much longer to find out whether OGC Nice or AS Saint-Étienne will be playing in Ligue 1 next season. The second leg of the playoff takes place this Friday at the Allianz Riviera. The match will be played behind closed doors following the incidents that occurred at the Riviera stadium after the final day of Ligue 1. Nothing is decided yet ahead of this second leg, as the first leg ended in a scoreless draw.
AS Saint-Étienne failed to make a difference in front of their fans. However, Les Verts haven’t said their last word as they head to the French Riviera. After finishing third in Ligue 2, they arrive in better form than their upcoming opponent, having remained undefeated in their last three matches. Will that be enough to secure their return to the top flight of French soccer? We’ll find out this Friday!
