The Ligue 1 and Europa League Qualifying Match Results for Rennes and Nice: 5th and 6th Places

Rennes and Nice played in the qualifying match for the Ligue 1 and Europa League respectively, with Rennes coming out victorious as they secured their place in the top flight while Nice fell short.

In the case of Rennes, they were looking to secure a spot in Ligue 1 after finishing in third place last season. They faced off against Nice in the first leg of their qualifying match and won comfortably, winning 2-0 at home. In the second leg, Rennes continued their dominance by winning again, this time on away goals after a thrilling 4-4 draw at Stade de la Beaujoire. The win saw them qualify for the Ligue 1 for the first time since 2007.

On the other hand, Nice failed to secure a place in either competition. Despite having finished second in the French league last season, Nice struggled throughout the playoffs and could only manage a single point from two games. They lost both matches, 2-0 in Rennes and 3-1 in Bournemouth, leaving them outside of Europe's premier club competition.

This result was not unexpected given the team's form over the past few seasons. Nice has been struggling to find consistent success under their current manager, Michel Der Zakarian. However, it is still disappointing for fans who had high hopes for the team to make it into Europe's elite leagues.

Overall, the qualifying match between Rennes and Nice was a clear indication that there is still work to be done for both teams. While Rennes will be excited about their return to the Ligue 1, Nice will need to improve significantly if they hope to compete at the highest level next season.
