National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Halsen or Sandefjord that keep their silverware dream alive.
11-2-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Sandefjord when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 26 matches are 41-47 (scored/conceded).
It's no vacation for neither Halsen nor Sandefjord 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.
