National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Go Ahead Eagles or Helmond Sport that keep their silverware dream alive.

This football stadium has grass, unlike Helmond Sport's home ground. The last 16 games by the away side on grass have generated 4 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses.

These are full days for the home side, as they had a game only four days ago in the Eredivisie. Thankfully the previous game, versus SC Heerenveen, was also a home game here at De Adelaarshorst. The away team is better rested.
