Prediction published on 04/04/2023, 13:35  by Sridhar in French Cup Predictions

Is it time for another miracle? Ligue 2 side Annecy will hope to continue their giant-killing run in Coupe de France when they host Ligue 1 side Toulouse looking to reach their second final of all time. This match will be played on Thursday at Parc des Sports as history awaits both sides and the winner of Nantes vs Lyon awaits in the final. Annecy have been the flavour of the tournament so far with the team now looking to reach the final of Coupe de France for the first time in their history. They defeated 10-time champions Marseille in the semis to create a minor flutter. That win came via penalties and in fact, their last three wins in this competition have come in that mode. That should give them confidence of posting another upset win if the game goes deeper. This run in the cup competition has overshadowed their problems in the league as they come into this match winless in four matches. That keeps them only four points above the relegation zone, but with action shifting to the cup competition the home fans will hope for more joy.

Toulouse are looking to recreate the magic of 1957 Coupe de France tournament when they won the title after defeating Angers 6-3 in the final. They now have a chance to make it to the final for the first time since that, and will be confident of their chances. Three of their four matches in this competition this season have been against lower-league sides and they have been in rich scoring form as well. Toulouse have scored 18 goals across those four games and that warrants another high-scorer here. The visitors have been struggling in the league too, with their 13th position giving them a nine-point cushion to the relegation zone. They come into this match on the back of three losses in four league matches, but it’s their cup form that forms base for their hopes of progression.
