Which Ligue 2 club will keep its chances of moving up to the top tier of French football next season, and who will advance to the final playoff round against Metz? AS Saint-Étienne will host Rodez AF this Friday at 8:30 PM at Geoffroy-Guichard. Long in the fight for the top 2, the Verts faltered in the final sprint. Olivier Dall'Oglio's team still has a chance to move up to the next level. However, they will need to prove their status when they host Rodez AF. The latter has already played one round in these playoffs. After finishing 4th in Ligue 2, they managed to beat Paris FC in a penalty shootout in the previous round. The challenge will be much tougher in Forez.

Saint Etienne - Rodez Aveyron Football: Form Analysis
After an excellent start to the second half of the season, AS Saint-Étienne seemed well on their way to being promoted to Ligue 1. The Stéphanois club was long in a duel with SCO Angers for 2nd place in Ligue 2. However, they struggled more during the final sprint. The Verts only took 2 points in their last 3 matches. They notably lost in their final match, on the road against US Quevilly-Rouen (2-1), whereas a win would have allowed them to finish in the top 2. Olivier Dall'Oglio's team still has hope of moving up to the top tier of French football, as they are present for this second round of the playoffs. Rodez AF will be the opponent on their home turf for this match. They are the surprise team of the season in Ligue 2. Didier Santini's men finished in 4th position in Ligue 2. Even though they had a scare in the first round of the playoffs, they managed to beat Paris FC in a penalty shootout.

Saint Etienne & Rodez Aveyron Football Squad Analysis
For this highly important match, AS Saint-Étienne will not have their full squad. Stéphane Diarra and Ibrahima Wadji are already ruled out for this playoff match. Additionally, several key players are uncertain. It is still unclear if Gautier Larsonneur, Thomas Monconduit, and Irvin Cardona will be able to play. Scorer in the last Ligue 2 match, Ibrahim Sissoko will be looking to shine in this game. Mathieu Cafaro is having a great season, with 4 goals and 9 assists. As has been the case for a while now, Rodez AF will play without Lionel Mpasi-Nzau. Joris Chougrani and Éric Vandenabeele will not be available. Killian Corredor will be one of the players to watch for Rodez AF. He has 19 goals and 6 assists across all competitions. He even scored in the first round of the playoffs against Paris FC.
