Ligue 1: Rennes, Strasbourg, Monaco, Nice, Lens, the race for the podium promises to be passionate
With five league games remaining, the race to qualify for the Champions League is fully relaunched. If Olympique de Marseille, second is six points ahead, there are five teams that stand in three points: Rennes, Strasbourg, Monaco, Nice and Lens.
If the title of champion should return, except surprise, to Paris Saint-Germain, the race to qualify for the Champions League is totally undecided. If Olympique de Marseille, currently second, have a six-point lead over their pursuers, the Marseille club has a difficult schedule with the reception of Lyon and two confrontations against Rennes and Strasbourg. We must not forget the Europa League Conference where the Phocaeans will face Feyenoord in the semi-finals. Behind Jorge Sampaoli’s men, four competent teams have the same number of points: Rennes, Strasbourg, Monaco with 56 units. OGC Nice now has 54 points and finally Racing Club de Lens, which is having an incredible season, is seventh with 53 points.
