Behind a fixed top 5, OM, OL and Lens will compete for the last European place(s) this Sunday on the 34th day of Ligue 1. For to know the exact fate of these three teams, we will potentially even have to wait six days, with the final of the Coupe de France.
A breathtaking final sprint. While PSG, Monaco, Lille, Brest and Nice are guaranteed to finish in the top 5 (not necessarily in that order), OM, OL and Lens are still in the battle to snatch a European place.
For now, only sixth place is synonymous with Europe, with a ticket for the Europa Conference League play-offs at stake. But seventh place could also become one. If PSG (already qualified in the Champions League) wins the Coupe de France on May 25 against OL, or if OL beats PSG and finishes in the top 6, this sixth place will qualify for the Europa League and the seventh in Ligue 1 will be sent to the Europa Conference League.
OM, OL and Lens could all three be tied on points before the last multiplex
Before the 34th day, Sunday (9 p.m.), Lens and OL are tied on points (50) in sixth place, with a clear advantage in goal difference for the Sang et Or (+8 against -7 ). For the moment relegated three lengths, the Marseillais (+11 goal difference) can seize this sixth place in the event of success against Reims this Wednesday in a late match of the 32nd day (9 p.m.).
Update on the race for 6th and 7th place
- 6. Lens, 50 points (+8)
- 7. OL, 50 points (-7)
- 8. OM, 47 points (+11, -1 match)
Sunday, at the dawn of the last day, OM, Lens and OL could all three be tied on points. Traveling to the Le Havre pitch, the Marseillais, very uncomfortable away from the Vélodrome this season (2 wins in 15 matches), will be the only ones to play away from home. For their part, Lens welcomes Montpellier and OL welcomes Strasbourg, two teams which have nothing left to play, unlike Le Havre, who are embroiled in the fight for the play-offs.
The suspense completely lifted on May 25 with the Coupe de France final?
Before this 34th day, the suspense is therefore total. But this might not be completely lifted by the final whistle of the multiplex. Marseille, Lens and Lyon may potentially have to wait for the result of the Coupe de France final to find out who will be European.
The only scenario where the three teams are set on their fate from Sunday: if OL finishes sixth. In this case, the Rhone residents will be assured of being in the Europa League, whether via the championship in the event of a defeat against PSG in the Coupe de France or thanks to a victory on May 25 against the capital club. .
If OL do not finish in the top 6, the teams which finish sixth and seventh will have to wait for the outcome of the Coupe de France final. With the hope – in the case of OM and Lens – of seeing PSG triumph so that the sixth is sent to the Europa League and the seventh to the Europa Conference League.
