National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Skedsmo or Lillestrøm that keep their silverware dream alive.
18-5-9 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Lillestrøm 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 32 matches are 60-51 (scored/conceded).
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
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.
