The relegation battle in Ligue 1 continues to be intense as the top six teams fight it out for their spots in next season's Champions League and Europa League.

In the latest round of matches, Brest secured all three points against Rennes at Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday evening. The win was crucial for Brest who now sit just two points behind fourth-placed Nantes with four games remaining.

Nantes have had a tough start to the season but they showed their resilience by bouncing back from a 2-0 deficit against Lens to draw 2-2. The draw kept them in touch with the top six teams and could give them a chance to catch up with them in the final few weeks of the season.

Brest's victory over Rennes highlights the bright future that lies ahead for Nantes. With their young and talented squad, they have shown that they can compete at the highest level of French football. They will be looking to build on this success and continue to push for a spot in Europe next season.

However, there is still work to be done for both clubs. Both sides face tough fixtures in the remaining weeks of the season and will need to perform well if they want to secure their places in Europe.

Despite the challenges, both Brest and Nantes remain optimistic about their chances of survival in Ligue 1. With their performances so far this season, they have shown that they have what it takes to turn things around and make a successful comeback.

As the league continues to go down to the wire, we will have to wait and see which team comes out on top. But one thing is certain, the relegation battle in Ligue 1 is sure to be a thrilling ride until the very end.
