The battle for the final two spots in Europe's premier club competition, the Europa League, is heating up in France's top flight. Two teams from Rennes and Nice are fighting tooth and nail to secure their place in the prestigious competition, while another team, Lyon, is struggling to maintain their position at the mid-table.

Rennes has been one of the surprise packages this season, having won eight out of their last nine games and sitting just three points off the Europa League spot. The team's impressive form has seen them climb up the table and they now face the challenge of maintaining their momentum as they look to clinch their place in the competition.

Nice, on the other hand, have struggled to find their form this season, with just four wins in their last ten games. However, they still sit within touching distance of the Europa League spot, and will be hoping that their recent form can carry over into the upcoming matches.

Lyon, meanwhile, have been struggling to keep pace with the other top teams in Ligue 1, but they remain hopeful of securing their place in the Europa League. They currently sit six points behind the Europa League spot, but they have a chance to close the gap if they can continue their strong run of form.

Overall, the battle for the Europa League spot in Ligue 1 is shaping up to be a closely contested affair, with all three teams vying for the final two spots. With only a few more games left in the season, it remains to be seen who will ultimately emerge victorious.
