National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sūduva or Banga that keep their silverware dream alive.
5-7-18 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Banga when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 30 matches are 18-53 (scored/conceded).
It's no vacation for neither Sūduva nor Banga as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
