Halfway through the group stage of this new format Champions League, two French clubs out of four are already (almost) assured of qualifying. PSG for its part must quickly recover.
If on one side of the hexagon the percentages increase, on the other they decrease. With their respective successes Monaco (against Bologna 1-0) and Brest (against Sparta Prague 2-1) have taken a serious option on qualification for the Champions League. With 10 points in four days, the two teams ranked 3rd and 4th have a 99% chance of finishing in the top 24 according to Opta. As a reminder, being in the 24 is the opportunity to participate at least in the play-offs to reach the round of 16. Do the first eight places allow direct qualification to eighth.
Lille in the right car too
Heroic against the big teams, after facing four strong opponents, LOSC has seven points and is 14th. It's a 94% chance according to Opta of being in the 24. With future more lenient matches (Bologna, Sturm Graz…), Genesio's men can reasonably validate their qualification quickly if not hope for better.
Paris can still believe it
If the worst scenario occurred yesterday at the Parc des Princes, with a defeat conceded in the final moments against Atlético Madrid (1-2), Opta estimates the capital club's chances of playing at least 67%. the dams. With 4 points in 4 games (worst total in its history at this stage since the 2004/2055 season) and a 25th place (therefore virtually eliminated), if the Parisians do not win on the Bayern Munich pitch, their figures should take another hit. But let's be reassured, PSG still has its destiny in its hands.
