National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kelty Hearts or Peterhead that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Kelty Hearts form and stats
The Hearts crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to East Kilbride here at New Central Park in a Football League match.
There will be little rest for Hearts after this match as they are travelling to Brechin City for a League Cup game in only four days.
Peterhead form and stats
Peterhead's mission in League Cup last season failed in the group stage.Things could have gone better for Peterhead in their League One away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
Preceding that game was the away League One victory against Clyde with the score of 2-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Peterhead are hosting St. Johnstone in the League Cup only four days away.
Peterhead have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. As for defending, Peterhead rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 5 goals from these away matches.
