Lens finished 2nd after an impressive campaign built on defensive discipline and strong home form, while Lille secured 3rd place following a consistent season that included important wins against fellow European qualification rivals.

Ligue 1 Relegation Playoff Predictions
Saint Etienne
Ligue 1Why this tip?
Saint-Étienne played and secured a 3rd spot in the Ligue 2 this season and now face a tense relegation playoff first leg against Nice, who finished 16th in Ligue 1 after a disappointing campaign. Nice struggled badly away from home throughout 2026 and failed to consistently break down organized defensive sides, while Saint-Étienne has remained competitive at home during recent playoff-pressure fixtures. With both teams expected to approach the first leg cautiously to avoid a major disadvantage before the return fixture, a tight 1-1 draw looks likely.
