National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Filiaşi or Hermannstadt that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Filiaşi nor Hermannstadt 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.
