Friday at the opening of the 26th day of Ligue 1, Rennes faces Montpellier. The Bretons have the opportunity to distance themselves from the Héraultais in the race for European places. After mixed months of December and January, the Rennais have regained their colors and can hope for qualification for one of the European Cups.
Saturday, a direct confrontation between Strasbourg (4th) and Nice (3rd). The Alsatians have lost only once in 2022 in the league and are trailing the Aiglons by three lengths. Ahead on goal difference, Julien Stéphan’s men can get on the podium if they succeed on the Côte d’Azur.
Sunday, Marseille can take advantage of this shock, with an affordable trip to Troyes, while Paris SG, leader with 13 points in advance, receives Saint-Etienne.
The other clash of the weekend takes place on Sunday evening between Lyon and Lille, two teams separated by only two points. After the defeat (2-0) at Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday, this L1 poster appears to be one of the French champion’s last chances if he still hopes to see the C1 again next year.
