National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Express or Jerv that keep their silverware dream alive.
Jerv could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eliteserien game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Viking, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Jerv.
