National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Musselburgh Athletic or Edinburgh University 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.
Musselburgh Athletic form and stats
The fans hope that Musselburgh Athletic will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away defeat in the South Challenge Cup fixture against Kilwinning Rangers.
Before that, Musselburgh Athletic had a Regional Leagues home game versus Jeanfield Swifts which ended with a victory 3-0.Edinburgh University form and stats
Edinburgh University might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Celtic II proved too strong as Edinburgh University slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at East Peffermill. As you can tell from the result, the match against Celtic II was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
The game before that, in the Football League, was lost at home, a 0-9 defeat against Hearts U21.Head 2 Head
