National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Rēzekne / BJSS or Albatroz 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.
Rēzekne / BJSS form and stats

Rēzekne / BJSS's previous game was a Latvian Cup match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Super Nova. The home side are looking to build on that result.

Two travels in a row for Albatroz, whose manager could celebrate last time after the Latvian Cup win against Ludzas.
That result followed a home victory 5-0 versus Super Nova in the First Liga.A new game in only one day for Albatroz, the First Liga home match versus Smiltene. Busy days.
