National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Bangladesh Police or Saif that keep their silverware dream alive.
Bangladesh Police form and stats
Bangladesh participated in Federation Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.Bangladesh Police have collected 15 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-6-3.
Jewel was the last player to score a league goal for Bangladesh Police and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Bangladesh haven't scored in 180 minutes.
The Bangladesh fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Bir Shrestha Shaheed Mustafa Kamal Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Sheikh Russel.
Heartbreak before that as Bangladesh lost 0-2 at Saif's place.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Abahani Chittagong are coming to town in two days.
Bangladesh Police has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. 17 goals have been conceded.
Saif form and stats
Saif was sent out of Federation Cup in the final last season.7-1-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Saif in their Premier League matches away.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Brothers Union at their stadium, the result 1-0.The schedule is very tough for Saif now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Federation Cup game at Abahani Chittagong is waiting in only four days.
