National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Olympique Médéa or CR Belouizdad 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting CR Belouizdad have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 3-6-7 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.
