OGC Nice and AS Saint-Etienne played out a 0-0 draw on Tuesday in the first leg of the L1-L2 playoff. The future of the two clubs will be decided in Nice on Friday evening. The two teams failed to frame a single attempt during 90 minutes at Geoffroy-Guichard. The return match scheduled for Friday between Saint-Etienne and Nice will be played behind closed doors after the incidents involving Nice supporters during the last day of Ligue 1 against Metz. And the Nice players finished strong, seeming more physically fit. Nice's goalkeeper, Larsonneur, did not have much to do during these 90 minutes. So the return match promises to be intense, with the two teams having to take more risks than tonight. But the OGC Nice supporters are eagerly awaiting Friday's match, which could be decisive for the club's future. OGC Nice players, such as Jonathan Clauss, have shown their determination to stay in Ligue 1. OGC Nice coach Christophe Galtier has probably already started preparing his team for the return match. The Allianz Riviera will host the decisive match, and the atmosphere is expected to be electric.
