National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Karlshamn or Varberg BoIS that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Rosengård.Varberg BoIS form and stats
Varberg was sent out of Svenska Cupen in the group stage last season.There's been little loot from Varberg BoIS's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the Allsvenskan. Varberg BoIS only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.

It was a Allsvenskan defeat before that one as the away game against Häcken wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.The schedule is very tough for Varberg now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Allsvenskan game at AIK is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Varberg BoIS have scored 12 goals in 10 league games away. As for defending, Varberg BoIS rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 16 goals from these away matches.
