The other semi-final pair of the Cup of France is, somewhat surprisingly, Annecy and Toulouse. Nantes has already made it to the finals, so after a long time we will have a team that does not belong to the very top of French football that will win the cup. Annecy is a club that competes in the second division of France, at the moment they have only 2 points more than the danger zone and until the end of the season they have a big fight for survival. They are in a big drop in form and in the last 5 games they won only 1 point, with only 3 goals scored and as many as 15 goals conceded. They reached the semi-finals after a penalty against Marseille, in a match in which they were in a completely subordinate position, but in the end they were more fortunate. In this match, they will be without several very important players from the first team, which will further weaken the team. And according to the statement of their coach, it can be concluded that he is not too interested in entering the final of the cup and that survival in the league is more important to them.

Similar to Annecy, Toulouse is in somewhat worse shape. But the teams that Toulouse play against really cannot be compared to rivals Annecy. In the last match, they lost to Brest, but it seems that their minds were already in this game, which can be concluded from the early changes made by their coach. They play very fast and attacking football, and for the sake of comparison, they scored only 4 goals less than the second-placed Lens. They have more than certainly reached this stage of the competition. In the 4 games they played in the cup, they scored 18 goals and conceded only 3. They have a much better team than today's hosts and I believe that the individual quality of the players will be of crucial importance in this match. The player who will certainly be one of the main players on the field is the fantastic Branco van den Boomen, who is by far Toulouse's best player.
