National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's EB / Streymur or NSÍ that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Streymur and NSÍ.

We have seen two home losses in a row now for Streymur, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
N. Kruse was the last player to score a league goal for EB / Streymur and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as EB / Streymur haven't scored in 270 minutes.
In their previous game, the manager J. Joensen led his Streymur to a defeat in the Meistaradeildin match away at NSÍ. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Before that game, the home loss against B36 with the scoreline 0-3.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Meistaradeildin game versus HB in only four days. This game is also played here.
