National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Tromsdalen or Bryne that keep their silverware dream alive.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Bryne have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 7-7-11 (win-draw-loss) from 25 matches.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2100 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
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.
