National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kuopion Elo or Lahti that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
