Ligue 1 playoffs: saint-étienne set to clash with nice for top-flight spot

AS Saint-Étienne is preparing to face OGC Nice in the crucial Ligue 1 promotion playoff. The initial leg of this high-stakes encounter is scheduled to take place at the iconic Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Tuesday, May 26. This fixture date was necessitated by the scheduling of the Coupe de France final.

Stade-ASSE

Following a dramatic penalty shootout victory against Rodez, AS Saint-Étienne has secured its opponent for the decisive Ligue 1 promotion playoffs.

That opponent is OGC Nice, under the management of Claude Puel, which concluded its Ligue 1 campaign in 16th position. The playoff schedule for this season features a different timeline compared to previous years.

Coupe de France final influences playoff timing

The upcoming Coupe de France final, set for Friday, May 22, between Lens and Nice, has led to a postponement of the Ligue 1 playoffs until the following week.

  • First Leg: ASSE versus Nice, Tuesday, May 26, at 8:45 PM, held at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard
  • Second Leg: Nice versus ASSE, Friday, May 29, at 8:45 PM, hosted at Allianz Riviera.

After an incident involving a pitch invasion during their final regular season match against Metz, OGC Nice faces potential disciplinary actions, which could include playing behind closed doors. All playoff matches will be broadcast live on the Ligue 1 + channel.
