National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kyzyl-Zhar or Ordabasy 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Ordabasy 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 6-4-1 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
