Nantes face Toulouse this Saturday, April 29 in the final of the Coupe de France. The Canaries can keep their title while the Toulousains aim for their first coronation in the competition.
The seasons follow one another and look alike for FC Nantes. The Canaries are still at the Stade de France this season to play a Coupe de France final like a year ago. Antoine Kombouaré’s men won 1-0 against OGC Nice thanks to a goal from Ludovic Blas. The Nantes people will have to ignore the Championship for an evening while they play for maintenance in Ligue 1. The preparation therefore does not seem ideal. “In these times, having support is super important for us. We know that we are in difficulty in the league. In the Coupe de France, we are able to achieve great things”, declared the Nantes technician. .
Opposite Téfécé has almost ensured its maintenance and is therefore no longer under pressure in Ligue 1. Philippe Montanier and his team have the lead at 100% in this Coupe de France final. Especially since Toulouse have never won this trophy they covet so much. Toulouse FC also approached this final with a victory in their pocket on the lawn of Lorient (1-0) on the last day of Ligue 1. “Favorite or outsider? It’s simple, Nantes are defending champions We are promoted to Ligue 1. Deal with that, nothing bothers us. In view of the backgrounds of the two teams, we would tend to say that we are challengers, but we are proud if we are told that ‘we are favourites,’ said the Toulouse coach.
The match between Nantes and Toulouse will start at 9 p.m. this Saturday, April 29. It will take place at the Stade de France, in Saint-Denis.
Two channels will broadcast this final of the Coupe de France between Nantes and Toulouse. Bein Sports 1 and France 2 have the rights to the meeting. Benoit Millot will be the referee for this match.

For this final of the Coupe de France between Nantes and Toulouse, Antoine Kombouaré deplores the absence of Pedro Chirivella in the middle who is injured. An uncertainty lies in the cages since Rémy Descamps played the whole competition but Alban Lafont had started in the 2022 final. Here is the probable Nantes eleven: Lafont – Centonze, Pallois, Castelletto, Victor – Moutoussamy, Girotto, Sissoko – Blas , Mohamed, Ganago.
For his part, Philippe Montanier will not be able to count on Rhys Healey but records the return of Branco van den Boomen who was suspended last weekend in the Championship. Here is the probable XI of Téfécé: Haug – Desler, Rouault, Nicolaisen, Suazo – Van den Boomen, Spierings – Aboukhlal, Genreau, Chaibi – Dallinga.
On sports betting sites, the odds are very close. Unibet places the Canaries at 2.80, the draw is at 3.45 and the Toulouse victory is at 2.55. Winamax has exactly the same odds.
