While they are eyeing an unlikely title run, the hosts are enjoying a fairytale run in the. They are the competition’s sole second-tier team. Last season, Annect rose to the Championnat National (third tier) level. In the quarterfinals, Annecy shocked Marseille by winning on penalties (7-6). The hosts have not played Toulouse in a while; they have lost four of their last five games and are currently 14th in Ligue 2 with 32 points.
In the meantime, Toulouse defeated Rodex, a team from Ligue 2, 6-1 in the quarterfinals. In the past release, they were taken out in the Round of 16 by fourth-level group FC Versailles 78. “Who have proved to all that they deserve to be here,” manager Philippe Montanier has cautioned his players against underestimating Annecy.
Last season, Le Tefece returned to Ligue 1 after winning Ligue 2. However, after 29 rounds, the journey has been somewhat bumpy. With 35 points, the visitors are 13th in the standings, with 10 wins, 5 draws, and 14 losses. In their last five games, they have lost three times.

Prediction
Vincent Pajot and Mose Sahi are the hosts’ two top scorers in the Coupe de France, scoring five goals each. They will be Annecy’s primary attacking threat.
Thijs Dallinga, a striker from the Netherlands, will once again lead the visitors’ offense. He currently leads the visitors with four goals. Annecy, on the other hand, are extremely determined to advance past this stage and have established sufficient self-assurance against teams in Ligue 1. They’ll be excited about the possibility of another upset.

Team news
This past weekend, Guyot made three changes to his starting eleven. Hady Camara, Arnold Temnfo, and Vincent Pajot replaced Jonathan Ruque, Francois Lajugie, and Madyen El Jaouhari from the Annecy team that started their previous match at home against Guingamp.
Six minutes apart, Moise Sahi and Kevin Mouanga scored to give Annecy a 2-1 lead in their quarterfinal matchup against Marseille. Annecy won on penalties (7-6) after Leonardo Balerdi missed from 12 yards out.
Thomas Callens has stopped seven penalty kicks this season at the Coupe de France, including one from Alexis Sanchez late in the previous round and one from Nuno Tavares. This has helped them advance to the semifinals.
Anthony Rouault, who was sent off against Brest over the weekend, is still eligible to play, so Toulouse’s team is relatively healthy going into this match.
