As the season is now at it's final two rounds we can almost guess who will be playing in the European club competitions next season.

• Montpellier HSC have scored at least two goals in 8 of their last 11 Ligue 1 games.
• Nantes have won just 2 of their last 12 away matches in Ligue 1.

• Prediction: Montpellier HSC @ 1.90

AS Monaco - Amiens SC

Heat rising beyond AS Monaco's feet as they face Amiens SC at home in their next fixture from Ligue 1.
