Three days before the end of the championship, Lyon retains a slim hope of Europe, Monaco is aiming for the Champions League and Troyes has surely saved itself against LOSC.
Lyon still wants to believe in Europe
Olympique Lyonnais largely won against Marseille on Sunday evening 3-0 at the Orange Vélodrome. Thanks to this success, the players of Peter Bosz, 7th with 55 points, come back to two lengths from Strasbourg 6th who drew 3-3 against PSG. The Rhodanians are 5 points behind Nice 5th who won 1-0 against Bordeaux.
Monaco continues its mad comeback
The Monegasques do not stop winning. Since their elimination from the Europa League, AS Monaco have had 6 successes in Ligue 1 in as many games played. Sunday, the teammates of Ben Yedder, scorer, beat Angers 2-0 and occupy 4th place on equal points with Rennes 3rd (62). After their defeat against OL, Marseille, runner-up to PSG, saw their two pursuers come back to just 3 points.
Troyes crushes Lille
Troyes most certainly obtained its maintenance on Saturday by beating Lille 3-0. The Trojans benefited from 3 penalties which were all converted and climbed to 14th place with 36 points. Bruno Irles’ players now have a 5-point lead over Saint-Etienne, who are the roadblockers (31) three days from the end. ESTAC has taken a very important, certainly crucial and definitive step towards staying in Ligue 1.
No changes in misclassified
At the bottom of the ranking, the days go by and all look alike. FC Metz despite their 2-2 draw against Montpellier remain last and have almost both feet in Ligue 2. Bordeaux lost 1-0 to Nice and failed to make up 4 points behind the Greens who are 18th and lost 2-0 to Rennes on Saturday.
