Prediction:
In the last six years, it has been a 50/50 proposition on whether the Ligue 2 side overcomes the team above and makes it to Ligue 1, with Troyes, Auxerre and St. Etienne all prevailing in recent years, with two of those coming in the two previous editions.
Both teams have scored in each leg in 5 of the last 6 matches in the playoffs, which could prove an interesting market for tonight's match.
Prediction: Metz 1-2 Reims
(Metz suffered relegation in these very playoffs last season - versus St. Etienne)
