National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ústí nad Orlicí or České Budějovice that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Ústí nad Orlicí form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Czech Cup for Ústí nad Orlicí, as the manager led his troops to eliminate Dvur Kralove and Zlin, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season, Orlicí's Czech Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.The Ústí nad Orlicí crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Sokol Zivanice here at Stadion TJ Jiskra Ústí nad Orlicí in a 3. Liga CFL match. Heartbreak before that as Orlicí lost 1-3 at Dukla Praha II's place.
Orlicí are traveling soon after this match as the 3. Liga CFL match at Sokol Zapy awaits in four days.
České Budějovice form and stats
Budějovice's mission in Czech Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.České Budějovice are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Czech Liga, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). One point away has become something of a habit for Budějovice who have played out draws in their last three away games.
České Budějovice are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Mlada Boleslav. Before that, České Budějovice travelled to Opava and returned home with a draw after the Czech Liga game finished 0-0.
The match against Mlada Boleslav looked like a defeat for Budějovice, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. Lukas Janosik equalized in the 90th minute. As mentioned above, Budějovice drew the match against Mlada Boleslav. Manager D. Horejs brought on Lukas Janosik to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
Budějovice have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. 4 goals have been conceded by České Budějovice in these games.
