National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's SK Cesis or Grobiņa 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.
SK Cesis form and stats
SK Cesis have not come this way in the Latvian Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Sigulda and Staiceles Bebri. Last season, Cesis's Latvian Cup journey ended in the preliminary round.SK Cesis's previous match was a Latvian Cup game also played at their own arena, ending 4-1 against Staiceles Bebri. The home side are looking to repeat that performance.
Before that one, a fine away victory at Sigulda. A Latvian Cup match.
