National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Strogino or Znamya Truda that keep their silverware dream alive.
This football field has artifical turf, which is not Znamya Truda's familiar surface at their own pitch. When appearing on artifical turf Znamya Truda have performed like this: Played nine matches resulting in 1 win, 1 draw and 7 defeats with the goal stats 8-17 (scored/conceded).
