The Ligue 1 qualification race is upon us, with the top two teams in each division locked into a fierce battle to secure their places in the next round.

In the French top flight, Paris and Lens have both secured their spots in the next round by defeating their opponents in the league stage. The result was a comfortable one-sided victory for Paris, who moved up to second spot on goal difference alone. However, Lens' defeat means that they will now have to fight for third place, which presents them with a real challenge.

Meanwhile, Marseille and Monaco are also battling it out for third place. Both teams have had successful seasons so far, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. With a combined points tally of 25-18, the two sides are tied at the bottom of the table, but they can still be caught if they make mistakes or fall short of goals.

In terms of the championship, things are looking pretty tight right now, with just three rounds remaining. Each team has four games left to play, and the winner of each group will advance to the final round, where they will face off against the other two teams from their respective divisions.

With this in mind, it's clear that there's a lot of action ahead as we approach the end of the season. It'll be interesting to see how these teams perform throughout the tournament and how they stack up against each other. Only time will tell whether either team can emerge victorious and secure their place in the Ligue 1 championship.
