This season, Saint-Etienne played in Ligue 2 and had high chances of directly qualifying for the top tier, but they stumbled towards the end, earning only two points in their last three matches. As a result, they finished three points behind the second place.
There is no point in regretting missed opportunities now, as they still have a chance to achieve their goal this season. In the final round of the championship, the club surprisingly lost 2-1 away to unmotivated outsider Quevilly-Rouen. It turned out that a win in that match would have secured Saint-?tienne’s place in the elite of French football. The team has the home advantage, which they must make the most of.
Rodez is having one of the best seasons in its history, being just two steps away from the elite of French football, where they have never played before. The club started this playoff from the quarterfinal stage, defeating Paris FC on penalties at home after a 2-2 draw in regular time, with the opponent equalizing in the 90+6 minute.
The team is currently in good form, and the big goal is highly motivating for the players, although it is hard to believe that Rodez can beat Saint-?tienne first and then Metz in the final.
