Toulouse will host Rodez at the Stadium de Toulouse on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the 2022-23 Coupe de France campaign.
The home side thrashed amateur outfit Lannion 7-1 in their opening cup clash before picking up a largely comfortable 2-0 win over Ajaccio in the next round featuring a quickfire double from Zakaria Aboukhlal and Rafael Ratao. They faced Stade Reims in the last 16 of the competition earlier this month and won 3-1.
Toulouse have struggled for results in Ligue 1 of late and will be looking to shake them off and continue their strong cup showing on Wednesday.
Rodez, meanwhile, saw off Saint-Ettiene, Roche Saint-Genest, Monaco and Racing Club de Grasse in their first four rounds of the Coupe de France, winning three of those games on penalties. They locked horns with Auxerre in the domestic showpiece last time out, picking up a clinical 3-2 victory.
The visitors are enjoying one of their best-ever runs in the Coupe de France this season and will aim to test their mettle against another top-flight side this week.

Rodez are without a win in their last three games and have won just one of their last seven games across all competitions. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two sides should see the hosts win this one.
