Villefranche takes on the visitors Quevilly Rouen in the first leg of the finals in French Ligue 2 relegation playoffs. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 24th at Stade Armand Chouffet (Villefranche-sur-Saône).
Villefranche was founded almost 100 years ago, in 1927. But all that they have ever managed to do is to get to the 2nd division of France, and then not for long. In the 90s of the last century, the "tigers" collapsed to the level of almost amateur football. And only in 2018 it turned out to return to the National Championship - this is the 3rd league of the country. The club played there until this spring, when it managed to score 65 points. There was a segment frankly disastrous, in the middle of winter. But in the 8 last rounds they managed to take 7 wins with 1 draw. Including 5 wins in a row. This made it possible to bypass such an opponent as "Concarneau" by 7 points. But there was not enough smallness, 1 point - just so much more Annecy had and went directly to Ligue 2, while Villefranche will now play in the playoffs.

Quevilly Rouen could not to climb above the 2nd division in their history. Moreover, the peak was the 7th place there, and it was taken a very long time ago, half a century ago, in the early 70s of the last century. Once again, the Red-Yellows were promoted to the 2nd division following the results of the last draw. By the way, then they were 3 points ahead of Villefranche. But the 2021/2022 championship was mediocre for the team. All that happened was to score 40 points - that was enough to avoid a direct relegation. "Nancy" with "Dunkirk" failed completely, but the dispute for the "saving" 17th place "Quevilly" lost to Rodez.
In total, 6 head-to-head matches took place between the clubs, in the period from 2018 to 2021. Villefranche won four times with 2 defeats. The teams look quite equal in strength, we dare to believe that Villefranche will win in their arena
Prediction for the match: Villefranche to win.
