Five days from the end, the leading group is just starting to take shape, and there are still six of them being able to really claim places 2 and 3 directly qualifying for the next Champions League. But from Monaco to Marseille via Lyon, Lille, Strasbourg or Nice, not all have the same calendar difficulty to manage.

Monaco, 2e (53 points)

The Monegasques have just made a so important coup, and at the best of moments: on Saturday, they outclassed OM (3-0), one of their main competitors in the race for qualifying places at the C1. Adi Hütter's men took the opportunity to seize the PSG dolphin chair, chips with the nose and the beard of the Marseillais. An ideal operation in the final stretch of the championship, which places ASM as a favorite in second place now. But beware of a still raised calendar that will have to be dismissed, including two difficult games against OL and Lens to complete the season.

The Monaco calendar

  • 30th day: Monaco-Strasbourg
  • 31st day: Le Havre-Monaco
  • 32nd day: ASSE-MONACO
  • 33rd day: Monaco-ol
  • 34th day: Lens-Monaco

Marseille, 3e (52 points)

OM was going straight there, but OM is letting everything go. Promised in second place a few weeks ago, the only team to hold, for a time, the pace of PSG, Marseille completely unscrews in the final. Unrecognizable, Roberto de Zerbi's players have just chained five defeats in the last seven days (2 victories), the last in Monaco, therefore. It has been three seasons for three seasons that the Vélodrome no longer vibrated to the sound of the small music of the Champions League, and the Olympians do all that it takes to leave the speakers of the C1 extinct. Adrien Rabiot may have pushed a remobilizing rant, a calendar a priori Affordable, with three Vélodrome receptions, could still cause problems for this OM.

OM calendar

  • 30th day: OM-Montpellier
  • 31st day: OM-Brest
  • 32nd day: LOSC-OM
  • 33rd day: Le Havre-OM
  • 34th day: OM-Rennes

OL, 4E (51 Points)

Long in the row, Olympique Lyonnais came out at the right time in the last turn, in the wake of an ultra-decisive Rayan Cherki. And will try to push your effort to the end of the last straight line. Not necessarily planned in terms of racing when the Sage Stone OL was between the 6th and 8th place, the OL of Paulo Fonseca rushes a thousand (7 victories in the last 9 L1 games) and could come and play the spoilsport in the very last meters towards the C1. The Gones calendar is not obvious, with a derby on Sunday against an ever -particular Sainté, and three duels not obvious before receiving Angers. In the event of a dropout, Lyonnais could also always believe in the Champions League thanks to their journey in the Europa League.

OL calendar

  • 30th day: ASSE-OL
  • 31st day: OL-Rennes
  • 32nd day: Ol-Lens
  • 33rd day: Monaco-ol
  • 34th day: OL-Angers

Lille, 5th (50 points, +13 goals difference)

Will LOSC be able to offer a new nice course in C1 next season? Eliminated with the eighth honors of the Queen competition, the DOGUES are still in the blow to tear one of the strapontines n ° 2 or n ° 3. Especially since the players of Bruno Genesio probably have the most affordable calendar of all the contenders, with three teams classified beyond 10th place to face. It will be important not to miss each other against Marseille and Brest, more or less direct competitors.

The LOSC calendar

  • 30th day: Losc-Auxerre
  • 31st day: Angers-Losc
  • 32nd day: LOSC-OM
  • 33rd day: Brest-Losc
  • 34th day: LOSC-Reims

Strasbourg, 6th (50 points, +11 goals difference)

Few would have bet on a racing still in the race for Europe, which is more at the Champions League five days before the end. However, this is the performance that the Strasbourg of Liam Rosenior, surprised guests of the European contingent are in the process of achieving. The Alsatians surf on a crazy series (undefeated during the last nine levees, 7 victories and 2 draws), and impossible to say how far this tidal wave will wear them. Will Strasbourg youth be able, in particular, to go tickle ASM and PSG in Finish? A future in the Champions League will inevitably pass.

The Strasbourg calendar

  • 30th day: Monaco-Strasbourg
  • 31st day: Strasbourg-Asse
  • 32nd day: Strasbourg-Psg
  • 33rd day: Angers-Strasbourg
  • 34th day: Strasbourg-Le Havre

Nice, 7e (48 points)

During our last stage point, at the end of March, the Aiglons had 47 points on the clock and tried at the foot of the podium. Three days later, they have almost tired and are so far the big losers in this frantic race. Nonexistent on the European scene (penultimate of the Europa League League phase), can OGC Nice lose everything this season? Formatted to be European with a rather substantial budget, the club held by Ineos still has some passes to cross to fulfill its objective. But it will be necessary to get back to win, after having chained the last five days in success (2 draws, 3 defeats).

The Nice Calendar

  • 30th day: Nice-Angers
  • 31st day: PSG-Nice
  • 32nd day: Nice-Reims
  • 33rd day: Rennes-Nice
  • 34th day: Nice-Brest

For Brest (8th, 44 pts) and Lens (9th, 42 pts), little chance
With fifteen points to distribute, Brest and Lens are still mathematically in the race. The 4th place of Ligue 1, which allows you to compete in the dams of the next C1, is also always within reach. But the two teams – which respectively accompanied Paris in C1 in 2024-25 and in 2023-24 – still leave from further away. Tenth of the championship with 38 units on the clock, at fourteen points from Marseille (3rd), Auxerre is not really in the race.
