National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Fylkir or KR that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting KR have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-1-5 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning more stress and significance.
These are busy days for the hometeam, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pepsideild. Thankfully the previous game, versus Fram, was also a home game here at Würth völlurinn. The away team is better rested.
