The Ligue Europa League is the second tier of European football, featuring teams from across Europe. It's one of the most prestigious competitions in the league system, with teams from different nations vying for spots in the top tier.

However, there's a race to the bottom in this year's edition of the competition. The teams that have qualified for the next round are now facing off against those who have yet to qualify, which creates a scramble for spots in the elite division.

In order to survive, teams must perform well in their home matches and be competitive at home. This means that they need to score goals, keep clean sheets, and defend well. If they can do all these things, they'll have a good chance of qualifying for the next round.

Lille has been in good form this season, winning several games and securing a spot in the Europa League group stage. However, they face a tough challenge in Rennes, who are also looking to qualify. Both clubs have strong teams and will be competing hard for spots in the elite division.

Nice has also been performing well this season, but it's still too early to make a final call on whether or not to qualify. They've won two games and have a few key players returning to the team, so they could potentially compete for a place in the next round.

Lastly, Lyon has struggled recently, losing three of its last four matches and sitting in the bottom half of the table. However, they're still in the running for a spot in the next round and could potentially play a crucial role if they manage to secure a spot.

Overall, the Ligue Europa League is a highly competitive event, and teams that have performed well this season will have a better chance of survival. With only points gap between Lille, Rennes, Nice and Lyon, it's going to be a close race for spots in the elite division.
