Toulouse take on the visitors Reims in the 1/8-finals of Coupe de France. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 8th at Stadium Municipal (Toulouse).
Toulouse only at the end of last season returned to the elite division of the country. Tefes had some success relatively recently, with a peak in the form of "bronze" in 2007. But at the moment, this is a team that, with all the considerable level of ambition, has just returned to Ligue 1. For this, their current mentor, Philippe Montagnier, has prepared his wards very well. And they are getting closer to the main task: to secure a "registration" in the "elite" for the next season - they have already managed to collect 29 points. Yes, and with PSG they looked decent: they opened the score on the road, lost minimally, 1-2. So you can pay more attention to the cup. There, in the last round, Ajaccio was knocked out. But now the opponent is definitely more difficult. In this cup match, opponents of aproximately the same class face each other, which today are separated only by a single point in the Ligue 1 tournament rating.

Reims doesn't look more than average in French football. The Champagne may well be considered a grandee of the national level, but mostly in historical retrospect. Yes, a 6-time champion - but the last "gold" was taken back in 1962. And both European Cup finals were back in the 50s. The current project was actually restarted, and gradually gained a foothold in Ligue 1 - last season brought 12th place. Now they are holding at about the same level, but it is worth remembering that the start was a failure, but the young and little-known Will Still has been producing an unbeaten streak since October. It was extended after recent clash with Auxerre, but everything ended there 0-0.
Reims have not lost three times in a row, but that was in 2019. Back in Ligue 1, Toulouse were able to win in September with a single goal from Abouchlal. Clubs are strong enough and will try to go further. We recommend betting on "both opponents to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
