At the end of the 30th day of Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille recovered a place which he had often occupied previously. That of Dauphin of Paris Saint-Germain in the classification of Ligue 1.
Only here, the Marseille club has only one point ahead of AS Monaco, four days from the end of the French championship. And unfortunately for Roberto de Zerbi and his men, this second place should escape them on Sunday May 18 in the evening, dates from 34th and final day.
This is at least what Opta predicts, the now famous specialist in sports statistics. According to the English company founded in 1996, it is the Principality club which is now favorite to finish second, while OM would still qualify for the Champions League by completing the podium.
L1, the final ranking 2024-2025 according to OPTA
1st PSG = 100%
2nd AS Monaco = 36.9%
3rd OM = 27.7%
4th LOSC = 24.0%
5th OL = 25.1%
6th RC Strasbourg = 29.3%
7th OGC Nice = 38.7%
8th RC Lens = 50.8%
9th Brest = 50.3%
10th reindeer = 41.0%
11th AJ Auxerre = 37.8%
12th Toulouse FC = 39.9%
13th Stade de Reims = 41.1%
14th FC Nantes = 36.8%
15th SCO Angers = 55.5%
16th Le Havre AC = 38.5%
17th AS Saint-Etienne = 45.9%
18th Montpellier HSC = 100%
Even if Montpellier is not yet mathematically relegated to Ligue 2, OPTA does not give the slightest chance of the Hérault club to get out of it. AS Saint-Etienne would accompany him in Ligue 2, while Le Havre would be a barragist.
