National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Alzira or Formentera that keep their silverware dream alive.
This ground has grass, which is not Formentera's normal surface at their own arena. When appearing on grass Formentera have performed like this: Played 16 matches with the outcome 5 wins, 1 draw and 10 defeats with the goal stats 19-27 (scored/conceded).
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Alzira form and stats
Alzira's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Teruel.
A 1-1 draw away in the Segunda Division RFEF: Group 3 before that, with Espanyol II the opponent.This is expected to be a close game, with Alzira perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Formentera form and stats
It's the second away game in a row for Formentera, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Terrassa last time out. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Rodríguez when Hervás scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute.
A draw for Formentera before that, at their own venue hosting Manresa (1-1).So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest.
