National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's HK or KFG that keep their silverware dream alive.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

These are full days for the home side, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pepsideild. This match was also played here at Kórinn. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, KFG have had more rest.
