National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Nea Salamis or Peyia that keep their silverware dream alive.

Nea Salamis participated in Cyprus Cup the last season, where they reached the 1st round.Nea Salamis have collected seven points from their first three 1. Division games here at Stadio Ammochostos Epistrofi, a promising start.
