National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's VSK Århus or Nordsjælland that keep their silverware dream alive.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Superliga game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Randers. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Århus's stadium, Vejlby Stadion, has a grass surface. Nordsjælland have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Nordsjælland when playing on grass; 14 wins, 12 draws and 23 losses from 49 matches. They have scored 75 goals in these games and conceded 90.
