"Grenoble" will play with "Paris" in a transitional quarterfinal match for the right to play in the French Ligue 1. Who will continue the battle for a place in the elite?
"Grenoble"
"Grenoble" finished in fourth place, being seven points away from the second line-the zone of direct promotion in the class. The end of the season, "Grenoble" played very poorly, winning only one game out of the last four. With the score 1-0, Rodez was defeated, which retained its place in Ligue 2, breaking away from the relegation zone by two points. Before that, Grenoble drew with Auxerre (1-1) and lost twice-1: 2 to Clermont and 1:3 to Troyes.
"Paris"
"Paris" only in the last round of the regular season managed to win a place in the playoffs, defeating 3-0 "Chamblee". If Paris had misfired, it would have been replaced by Auxerre, who won 3-2 at Sochaux and were two points behind. In the last four games, Paris has not lost: it has drawn twice and won the same number of times. Statistics of personal battles of "Grenoble" and "Paris" on the side of the latter, who in seven games won three times, lost once and three times the winner was not revealed.

Forecast
Even though Paris finished the season below Grenoble,and will also play away, I will cast my vote in its favor. At the end of the season, the capital club looked more stable and regularly scored points, and "Grenoble" won in the last round after three misfires in a row.
