Annecy vs Toulouse Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Annecy
There are a lot of emotions for Annecy fans these days as their team is struggling to fight off relegation in Ligue 2, and at the same time concentrating efforts on a historic run in the French Cup. They never won any major trophies in their history which spans over 90 years, and this is a chance to make their mark on French football. They stunned Marseille in the quarterfinals away from home, but now they will have to make a repeat of that performance against another Ligue 1 team. Annecy has some injury problems ahead of the match: Bissenty Mendy, Clement Billemaz, and Jean-Jeacques Rocchi are out.
Possible lineup: Escales, Camara, Temanfo, Mouanga, Jean, Bastian, Pajot, Kashi, Demoncy, Dion, Ntamack Ndimba.
Toulouse
The Ligue 1 outfit will try not to make the same mistakes that their colleagues did when facing Annecy. Toulouse isn't in a good shape as well when it comes to their form, and even though they have a nine-point advantage over relegation-threatened teams in Ligue 1, they are wary about the next few rounds. Toulouse hasn't won a French Cup title in the past, and now when teams like PSG and Marseille are no longer part of the competition, they will be hoping this is their year. The visiting team doesn't have injury issues at the moment.
Possible lineup: Dupe, Desler, Rouault, Nicolaisen, Suazo, Spierings, van den Boomen, Aboukhlal, Sierro, Ratao, Dallinga.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
