Marseille v Toulouse Preview: The Phocéens Aim for the Coupe de France Semi-Final

Marseille will host Toulouse in the 2026 Coupe de France quarter-final on Wednesday, 4 March 2026. The match, staged at the Stade Vélodrome, represents a golden opportunity for Marseille to close in on the trophy they last lifted in 1989.

Marseille approach the tie in high spirits after a 3-2 victory over Lyon in Ligue 1. However, coach Habib Beye is hampered by the suspension of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and injuries to Amine Gouiri and Quinten Timber. Tochukwu Nnadi is expected to make his first start to fill the midfield gap.

On the other side, Toulouse travel as the away side who are nursing a blow. Under Carles Martinez they have lost three of their last four matches. Nevertheless, Toulouse have a reputation as a stubborn cup side, and they will look to exploit the hosts’ key absences.

Line-ups:

Marseille: Rulli; Pavard, Aguerd, Medina, Emerson; Kondogbia, Nnadi; Weah, Greenwood, Paixão; Aubameyang.

Toulouse: Restes; Kamanzi, Cresswell, McKenzie, Sidibé, Suazo; Casseres, Diop, Sauer, Gboho; Vignolo.

This match is usually available to watch through the official Coupe de France broadcasting partner in Indonesia or via legitimate sports streaming services.

Marseille will be without Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (suspension), Amine Gouiri (injury) and Quinten Timber (injury). Toulouse are likely without Rasmus Nicolaisen.

In the most recent Ligue 1 meeting in November 2025, the two teams drew 2-2 at the Stade Vélodrome.

Score prediction: Marseille 2-0 Toulouse. Aubameyang’s potency in front of a home crowd is predicted to help Marseille progress to the next round.
