National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Spartak Moskva or Urozhay that keep their silverware dream alive.
These teams have little in common geographically as Urozhay have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
The hosts Spartak Moskva saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier League. This match was also played here at SKB-Bank Arena. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Urozhay have had more rest.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sochi (0-3).There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Spartak as they are travelling to their away game against Dinamo Moskva in the Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
