National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Bærum or Skeid that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Bærum nor Skeid 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.
Bærum form and stats
Bærum have reached this NM Cup stage through battling and winning against Asker. Last season their NM Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.The spoils were shared in Bærum's previous game, also at home. Visiting Junkeren travelled back with a draw after a 3-3 scoreline. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The hometeam coach Garborg made a successful contribution in the game against Junkeren, bringing on Bojang who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw.
In the game before, a nice away victory at Asker. A NM Cup match.
There will be little rest for Bærum after this match as they are travelling to Stjørdals-Blink for a 2. Division: Group 2 game in only three days.
Skeid form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Holmlia in order to reach 2nd round of NM Cup. Last season their NM Cup adventure ended in the 3rd round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Skeid so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose).
Skeid has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Kristiansund for a 2-2 draw. It looked so good for Skeid vs Kristiansund, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
Previously, the NM Cup victory away at Holmlia.
A new game in only three days for Skeid, the Obos-Ligaen home match versus Bryne. Busy days.
