This Tuesday evening, the Ligue 1 playoff first leg promises high stakes as OGC Nice face AS Saint-Étienne at the iconic Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium. The Aiglons, fresh off a Coupe de France final defeat against RC Lens, will be eager to secure a positive result on the road (currently 3rd in Ligue 2) to keep their top-flight ambitions alive.
Key for Nice will be their Senegalese duo, Yehvann Diouf and Antoine Mendy, who are set to start under the floodlights. The 16th-placed Aiglons know this is their final chance to earn a Ligue 1 berth this season.
Saint-Étienne, meanwhile, will look to capitalize on home advantage in a tightly contested playoff battle that could shape the league’s future for next season.
