National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's FC Ostrovets or Smorgon that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Smorgon have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-0-4 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
FC Ostrovets and Smorgon should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
