Double dose of magic for football fans at the end of the year. Before Christmas in a few days, it's time for the French Cup that the supporters of TFC will be entitled. The Toulouse residents enter the fray this Saturday, December 21 in this competition necessarily a little share, that they have won in 2023and which sees them face… the Hauts Lyonnais club, resident of National 3. A club based in Pomeys, in the Monts du Lyonnais, halfway between Lyon and Saint-Etienne. The meeting will also be held in the Loire, in Feurs, north of the 42 prefecture.
Face to face
Winners of the Stéphanois last week, the Violets should rotate, for this 32nd final. Glimpsed thanks to an injury to Guillaume Restes in end of match against AuxerreSpanish goalkeeper Alex Dominguez should have playing time, just like German Niklas Schmidt, who has been little used this season. Rotation certainly, but also seriousness in the preparation“like a Ligue 1 match“, assures coach Carles Martinez Novell, in order not to relive the disillusionment of elimination, like last year in the round of 16 against Rouen.
On the Hauts Lyonnais side, we dream of the feat of releasing a club from Ligue 1while knowing that the club is not in great shape, that's nothing to say. THE Hauts Lyonnais are in last place in the National 3 rankingsonly one victory to their credit (3 draws, seven defeats). A result which unbalances the meeting even more, at least on paper. Because the Coupe de France is such that sometimes the irrational takes precedence over the statistics, and the great stories are written at the expense of the favorites.
