National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ynergetyk-BDU or Vitebsk that keep their silverware dream alive.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
