Nantes, Toulouse, Lorient, … what have the last four play-offs been like?
Zapping Foot National Top 10: the best scorers in history in the France team
Who will assess the next season in Ligue 1? If nineteen clubs are already guaranteed to play the 2022-2023 exercise in the elite of French football, the identity of the twentieth is still unknown and balances between two entities: AJ Auxerre and AS Saint Etienne. Or the third in the last Ligue 2 championship against the eighteenth in Ligue 1. Before the first leg this Thursday (7 p.m.) then the return on Sunday to Geoffroy-Guichard (7 p.m.), a look at the four previous play-offs, postponed updated by the Professional Football League (LFP) in 2017.
That year, it was Lorient and Troyes that opened the ball. Third in Ligue 2, ESTAC hits hard and wins in the first leg at the Aube stadium (2-1) before holding the shock in Brittany (0-0). Direction Ligue 1 for Benjamin Nivet and company. The only Ligue 2 formation to get out of the formula since. In 2018, Ajaccio came up against Toulouse after a stormy barrage (0-3; 0-1). A year later, it was an exhausted RC Lens who was stopped by Dijon (1-1; 1-3) before Toulouse, again, came very close to the big blow against FC Nantes (1-2; 1 -0) a year ago. As a reminder, in 2020, the year of the Covid, no roadblocks were held. Still, the trend does not plead in favor of the AJA this weekend. It’s up to Jean-Marc Furlan’s men to deny the story.
