In great difficulty at the end of the season in Ligue 1 under the orders of Habib Beye, OM have a good opportunity to revive themselves by facing the penultimate in the standings, FC Nantes, on Saturday afternoon (3 p.m.). Mason Greenwood and his teammates are only sixth in the standings and have the opportunity to get back into a tie with Stade Rennais and one point behind OL and Losc, who currently share 3rd place. There is precisely an OL-Rennes during this 32nd day, Sunday evening.
Qualification for the Champions League still remains possible (it will be necessary to string together three victories against Nantes, Le Havre and Stade Rennais), but it is the Europa League which awaits OM for the moment. Victory in the French Cup final for RC Lens, at the expense of OGC Nice, would give direct qualification to the Europa League for 6th in Ligue 1.
Great teams in the Europa League
Marseillais but also Rennes can fall on very heavy ground in this competition. In the projections of Football Rankings In the next Europa League, Leverkusen, Roma, Benfica and Real Betis would be the top four teams according to the UEFA club rankings. Bodo/Glimt, the surprise team from the C1 round of 16, would also be among the top seeds in the draw.
We would then find big players like Real Sociedad, Ajax, Fenerbahçe, Friborg or Celtic in hat 2, along with OM, but especially Brighton, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace (as virtual winner of the Conference League) as well as Como in hat 3, like Rennes. Coming up against a Premier League team would be a big blow. As in the Champions League, each team in the Europa League faces two clubs from each hat.
