National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Naftan or Gorodeya that keep their silverware dream alive.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Naftan form and stats
Naftan was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Belarusian Cup.Overall First Division stats at home this season for Naftan are 3-2-2 (wins-draw-losses). Naftan has recorded two wins in a row here at Stadyen Atlant, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Naftan shared the glory with Lida in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. A strong away win before that one, visiting Orsha and winning 2-0.
Naftan salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Lida, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in D. Tamelo equalizing.
