National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Al Fateh or Al Tai that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Al Tai, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Abha. Tai were so close to getting something from the game against Abha, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.
A 2-3 loss hosting Al Hilal before that.The schedule is very tough for Al Tai now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Pro League game at Al Feiha is waiting in only four days.
