National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Surnadal or Molde that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Molde 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 13-3-4 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.
It's no vacation for neither Surnadal nor Molde 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.
