National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Lausanne Sport or Young Boys that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Young Boys 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 15-14-13 (win-draw-loss) from 42 matches.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Super League. That game was also an away game, at Servette. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
