The Ligue 1 weekend was marked by the confirmation of Brest’s excellent season (1-0 against Le Havre) and an RC Lens who calmed down OL (0-3)

What if Brest played in the Champions League next season? The question deserves to be asked… Stade Brestois established itself permanently on Sunday in the place of runner-up in L1 by winning against Le Havre (1-0) during the 24th day, far ahead of OGC Nice which was overthrown by Toulouse (2-1) and moved away from the podium, caught by Lens after its clear victory in Lyon (3-0).

Behind Paris SG, the Brestois consolidated their place in second in the championship (46 pts), four points ahead of Monaco (0-0 against Paris on Friday). With this short success on Sunday against promoted Le Havre (15th, 24 pts), Eric Roy’s men remain on a series of 13 matches without defeat in Ligue 1.

The Lensois will also indeed be serious customers in the race for C1 at the end of the season (6th, 39 pts).

Lyon was corrected

With the clear victory against Lyon on Sunday evening (3-0), they returned to two points from the European places, while stopping the rise of OL (11th, 28 pts), deprived of their injured captain Alexandre Lacazette. Corrected at home, the Lyonnais will have to look behind again because they find themselves five points behind the play-off, before traveling to Lorient next Saturday.

Just ahead of the Lensois in the standings, the Niçois are going through a more complicated period, beaten in Toulouse. This defeat, the third in five league matches (three defeats, two draws), drops the Aiglons to 5th place in L1 (40 points) behind Monaco (3rd, 42 pts) after their draw on Friday against Paris (0-0). ) and Lille which took 4th place (41 pts) after its success on Saturday in Reims (1-0).

Rennes, the setback

By bringing down Rennes (8th, 35 pts) at home on Sunday late afternoon (2-1), Lorient carried out the very good operation of the 24th day, no longer being a barrage and even going back to the 13th place (25 pts) tied on points with Nantes.

On the contrary, it is a big setback for the Rennais for the qualifying places for Europe: a second match without success, far from their six victories in a row in L1.
