Rennes, Nice and Lyon have all been working hard to secure their spots in the Europa League after finishing second place in the Ligue 1 mid-table standings. The three teams are currently sitting in a tie with each other in terms of points.

Rennes has had a strong season so far, having won the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue twice this year. They have also secured promotion to the top flight by beating Le Mans in the UEFA Europa League play-off round. However, they will need to perform well in the Europa League as they aim to qualify for the Champions League.

Nice has struggled to find its feet in the Europa League as it failed to make the quarter-finals last season. Despite this, they still managed to win the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue twice. They will be looking to improve on these achievements and take advantage of the Europa League as a chance to progress further in the competition.

Lyon is another team that has had mixed results this season. They finished third in the league but were defeated in the quarter-finals by Marseille. This result means that they will have to compete harder in the Europa League to secure a spot.

Overall, Rennes, Nice and Lyon are all in good form and should be able to secure a spot in the Europa League. The key to success will be maintaining consistency and performing well in the Europa League. With the right attitude and determination, these three teams can rise up the table and achieve success in the Europa League.
