Ligue 1 Europa League Qualification Scramble: Lille, Rennes, Nice, Lyon with a 3-point gap

The Ligue 1 Europa League qualification scramble is heating up as the top three teams in France's premier division, Lille, Rennes, and Nice, all sit within striking distance of each other.

Lille, currently sitting in second place, has a comfortable lead over their two rivals. However, they face a tough test against Nice on Saturday, with both teams having won their previous matches.

Rennes, who are third in the table, have also had a good run of form recently, but they will need to be at their best if they want to keep up with Lille and Nice.

Nice, meanwhile, have been inconsistent this season, but they have managed to secure their spot in the Europa League by virtue of their impressive record against their European opponents.

With only four games remaining in the season, it looks like there could be some interesting action in the race for Europe next year. It remains to be seen which team will emerge victorious from this intense competition.
