National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ilves or KäPa that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting KäPa have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
This promises to be an action-packed game with lots of action and energy as both contenders are well revitalized since they last played a game. Get this show on the road!
