The battle for the final two spots in Europe's premier club competition is heating up in French football as Rennes, Nice, and Lyon all aim to secure their place at the top of the table.

In the race to qualify for the Europa League, Rennes have been one of the standout performers this season, with the team currently sitting in second place in the league table. The team has won five out of their last six matches and have a strong defence that has kept just three goals conceded in their last eight games.

Nice, on the other hand, have struggled in recent weeks, losing four of their last five matches and dropping down to fifth place in the league table. However, the team remains hopeful of securing a spot in Europe's elite competition, with a win or draw against Montpellier in their next match.

Lyon, meanwhile, sit in third place in the league table, but they face a tough test against Monaco in their next game. The team will need to perform well if they want to maintain their position in the top three, which would give them a good chance of qualifying for the Europa League.

Overall, it looks like the battle for the final two spots in Europe's premier club competition is going to be a closely fought affair, with each team needing to put in a solid performance if they want to secure their place in Europe's elite competition.
