The third semi-finalist of the French Cup will be determined in Toulouse, where the local team of the same name will host Rodez. We bring to your attention the forecast for this meeting.
"Toulouse"
"Toulouse" is the average player in the French championship, currently occupying 11th place. The club has one trophy of the national Cup in its museum, but it was won back in 1957. In the current draw, the "purple" have already overcome three rounds, in which they scored 12 goals against their rivals. The victims of Philippe Montagnier's team were "Lanyon" (7:1), "Ajaccio" (2:0) and "Reims" (3:1).
"Rodez"
Rodez has even more contrasting results in the championship and the French Cup. In his five cup matches, it came to a penalty shootout three times, but the Rhodesians still won. Alternately passed: "Saint-Etienne" (0:0, pen. 4:3), "Saint-Genet" (1:0), "Monaco" (2:2, pen. 5:4), "Grasse" (0:0, pen. 5:4) and "Auxerre" (3:2). In Ligue 2, Didier Santini's team occupies the last 20th place, 5 points behind the saving zone.
Statistics and figures
- Toulouse have won only 2 matches out of the last five, losing three times;
- In the last seven matches of Toulouse, the bet was "Total more than 2.5", and in six of them – "Both teams will score";
- "Toulouse" has lost only 1 match out of the last seven at home, winning 5 times;
- Rodez has a 3-match unbeaten streak in head-to-head matches with Toulouse (2 wins + 1 draw);
- "Rodez" has won only 1 match out of the last 11, losing 6 times;
- In six of the last eight matches of Rodez, the Total bet was less than 2.5;
- Rodez has a 4-match winless away streak (1 win + 3 draws).
Forecast
Taking into account the standings of Rodez, it seems that he does not need the French Cup at all, but in two matches against representatives of Ligue 1, he scored 5 goals, playing loosely, not afraid to lose. Surely it will not be easy for Toulouse to cope so easily with the outsider of the second division.
