National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Zejtun Corinthians or Hibernians that keep their silverware dream alive.
This football pitch uses the playing surface artifical turf, unlike Hibernians's home stadium. The former eleven games by the away team on artifical turf have given 8 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
It's no vacation for neither Corinthians nor Hibernians 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.
