National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Partizan or Levski Sofia that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Partizan nor Levski Sofia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Levski Sofia form and stats
They also participated in Bulgarian Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals, when Lokomotiv Plovdiv drew the shortest straw.The story so far for the visiting team on their Parva Liga travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Levski Sofia are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
The attacking players of Levski have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 243 minutes.
There might be some fixture complaints from Levski as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Parva Liga match against Slavia Sofia (0-1). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Botev Vratsa in the Parva Liga.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Cherno More in just three days.
The travelling fans enjoy Levski's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. 4 goals have been conceded by Levski Sofia in these games.
