Stade Geoffroy-Guichard will be packed when St Etienne and Metz face each other in the Ligue 1 relegation playoffs final on Thursday evening.
Les Verts are determined to return to the French top flight and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field in the first leg.
Barring any fresh injury worries, Olivier Dall’Oglio is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Rodez in the semis.
Les Grenats, meanwhile, failed to impress in the regular season finale and given their four-match losing run in the national championship, home win should be considered.
As for the visitors, both Joel Asoro and Benjamin Tetteh are out of contention with injuries. Laszlo Boloni is likely to stick to the 4-3-3 formation. In their last meeting in a competitive match Metz defeated St Etienne 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
This match will be played on 30/05/2024 at 20:30
