A place in the Coupe de France final is up for grabs as RC Lens faces Toulouse in a semi-final clash at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. This encounter follows a dramatic five-goal league match last weekend, where Lens triumphed 3-2 at home after overcoming a two-goal deficit.
Both sides advanced to this stage through hard-fought penalty shootouts in the quarter-finals. Lens held Olympique Lyon to a 2-2 draw before winning 5-4 on penalties, while Toulouse defeated Olympique Marseille after a 2-2 stalemate.
Lens has enjoyed a stellar season, particularly at home, where they have won all but one of their last 15 matches across all competitions. Toulouse, conversely, has struggled recently, losing three consecutive league games.
The head-to-head record favors Lens, with 13 wins in their last 26 meetings. Toulouse has also had a poor record at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in recent years, losing four of their last five visits.
