As Saint-Étienne is about to go to Ligue 2. The traditional French club must hope for shooting aid before the last match day.
The next crash threatens! As Saint -Étienne – ten -time French champions – stands before the last matchday of the Ligue 1 on a relegation zone, which threatens the renewed walk into the 2nd league.

Yunis Abdelhamid and AS Saint-Étienne threaten the descent into Ligue 2
Saint-Étienne hopes for the relegation place
Before the 34th matchday, Asse occupies 17th place in the table, but only one counter behind AC Le Havre, who currently has the relegation rank, but three points behind the saving bank.
There is the Nantes FC, which has the 21 hits better goal difference, which means that Saint-Étienne is only about the relegation.
AS will meet FC Toulouse on Saturday (9 p.m.), for which there is nothing left on the last match day. The team of ex-Bundesliga player Niklas Schmidt (Werder Bremen) takes twelfth place with 39 points.
Strasbourg fights for ticket for Europe
At the same time, Le Havre is a guest at Racing Strasbourg. For both teams, it is still all about everything, because Strasbourg is sixth before the match day and even has the theoretical chance of fourth place, which would be enough for the Champions League qualification phase.
However, there is also the possibility that racing tumbles from the European ranks. Olympique Lyon than seventh has three points less, but the better goal difference. With his own victory and a Strasbourg bankruptcy, Lyon would pass the opponent.
Saint-Étienne, meanwhile, has to hope that Le Havre will not win in Strasbourg, because then the traditional club would jump to the relegation place in its own victory. A draw would not be enough for a bankruptcy of Le Havre, since the opponent has the better goal difference.
Frightening pictures after descent
At that time it was terrifying pictures that went around the world from Saint-Étienne. A place storm and heavy riot accompanied the descent of the traditional club.
The day after the riot night, 33 injuries were counted: 17 fans, 14 police officers and two guest professionals by AJ Auxerre. Video images from the stadium make it clear that only pure happiness prevented far worse consequences of the outbreak of violence.
Two scandals in the current season
It remains to be seen whether similar scenes could occur on Saturday evening. The hot-flowered ass fans already provided two eclats in the current season. In March the game had to be canceled after a fan chaos in the 63rd minute.
A fire broke out and pyrotechnics – as well as other objects – flew on the lawn. Seats were also torn out and thrown on the lawn.
A short time later, the game was finally broken off and the police evacuated the entire stadium. Just a month later, a Saint-Étienne fans threw a coin on a referee assistant and was then arrested.
It is only to be hoped that the season finale – regardless of the output – will run more peacefully this time.
