National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Chertanovo or Riga that keep their silverware dream alive.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chertanovo and Riga.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Riga 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 9-3-8 (win-draw-loss) from 20 matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Riga have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
