Recap
Toulouse booked a place for the semi-finals of the Cup, confirming his role as favorite, against Rodez (Ligue 2), winning by an emphatic 6:1. They will face the biggest surprise Annecy (Ligue 2), and this is a great chance to qualify to the grand final. After the break, they are excellent and are constantly climbing in the standings, with +11 points from the relegation zone. The home record is positive, with only three defeats in 13 games (6-4-3). The only absence is Brazilian Ratão (20/5). Clermont was able to get the three points against Strasbourg but left with one point after the 1:1 draw at home. They are in poor form, without a win in the last six matches (0-3-3), and have one of the worst offenses in the league. Due to injuries and suspensions Wieteska (25/0), Seidu (20/0), Caufriez (16/0), and Bela (14/1) are out of the squad. These are important absences in defense, while Toulouse offensively is frightening, having one of the best attacks in Europe in 2023.
