My current prediction: victory for Saint-Etienne. The odds are shifting in their favor, the money flow is on them, and the statistics show their advantage in goals scored. Both teams are attacking, indicating the potential for goals. The hosts are aiming to get back to the top league, which could be an additional motivation. All these factors point towards success for Saint-Etienne in this match.
In the first final playoff match, "Saint-Etienne" and "Metz" will compete for the right to play in Ligue 1. "Metz" is on a losing streak and fighting to stay in the elite division. For "Saint-Etienne," this is a chance to return to Ligue 1 after several seasons in the second division. In the previous match against "Paris Saint-Germain," "Metz" showed a good game despite the defeat. The importance of the match for both teams could be a motivating factor for "Metz." At the same time, "Saint-Etienne" played confidently and won their last playoff match. Considering the form and desire of both teams to win, a prediction can be made for "Metz" not to lose in the first match.
Metz is fighting to stay in Ligue 1, so they are not going to give up without a fight. Saint-Etienne, although the favorite, concedes goals and does not always play confidently at home. Both teams have their motivations and reasons to score goals in this match. Metz shows a decent game away from home, and Saint-Etienne may relax after previous victories. Therefore, it is likely that both teams will score in this match.
