National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Nacional Potosí or Always Ready that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Always Ready 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 20-9-15 (win-draw-loss) from 44 matches.
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!
