National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Alzira or Villarrubia that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Villarrubia have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-7-9 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.
It's no vacation for neither Alzira nor Villarrubia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
