MARSEILLE NEWS

The things went terribly wrong for Marseille in February, and they lost all chances to qualify for Europa League two months ago. They are still hoping that Lyon will lose points, the difference is only 6 at the moment, but realistically speaking their chances are slim. On top of that, Marseille isn't in a particularly good form at the moment, with 3 draws in a row against the teams from the bottom and the middle of the table.

SAINT ETIENNE NEWS

Saint Etienne had a solid campaign in Europa League this season; they were kicked out in the knockout phase by the hands of Manchester United, the biggest favorite of the competition. However, they failed to raise the bar in French Ligue 1 and they will also miss the opportunity to qualify for European competitions. If they win all games until the end, they might catch Lyon, but that will hardly happen - they are in bad form, like Marseille.
