Winners to the general surprise of Olympique de Marseille on March 1 on penalties in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France, the Savoyards face Toulouse tonight at home for a place in the final.
With the defeat of Lyon on Wednesday April 5 against the FC Nantes, the hope of a title at the Stade de France inevitably crosses the minds of Annecy or Toulouse who will face each other this evening for the second semi-final of the Coupe de France. The Savoyards, who have never been in Ligue 1, will once again face an elite team. Since its victory over Marseille the club in Ligue 2 has not won a single match in the Championship. They are 15th in the standings at the gates of the relegation zone synonymous with National. But the Coupe de France is a separate competition in which the Savoyards can shine. The club des Alpes could, in the event of victory, become the 9th club from a lower division since 2000 to play in a final at the Stade de France on April 29. “We are going to take up this challenge with a lot of desire, determination and pleasure”, detailed in a press conference Laurent Guyot, the coach of Annecy.
Toulouse also dreams of a first Coupe de France final. The club has never managed to reach this stage of the competition. The Toulousains have so far always failed in the last four in 1985, 2009 and 2023. If the coach of Toulouse, Philippe Montanier accepts “the status of favorite”, he preferred in a press conference to alert on “the stake” which must in no way “take over the game”. He expects the outcome of the meeting “to an even higher commitment. We will have to be in the fight” he warns cautiously.
