National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sigma Olomouc or Slavia Praha that keep their silverware dream alive.
Olomouc have less rest than Slavia Praha in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Fortuna Liga game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Baník Ostrava, was also a home game here at Andrův stadion. The away team is better rested.
