National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Gjøvik-Lyn or Strømsgodset that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Strømsgodset have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-4-7 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
