National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Hibernian or Inverness CT that keep their silverware dream alive.
The visiting Inverness CT played their last game only three days ago, a Championship match. That game, against Dunfermline Athletic, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Inverness CT.
Hibernian form and stats
Last season their Scottish Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.On the other hand, in the Scottish Cup, Hibernian has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
The spoils were shared in Hibernian's previous game, also at home. Visiting Livingston travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Kilmarnock and winning 2-1.
A painful moment in the game against Livingston was the missed penalty kick from Scott Allan in the 22nd minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Hearts are coming to town in four days.

Two travels in a row for Inverness CT, whose manager J. Robertson could celebrate last time after the Championship win against Dunfermline Athletic. It was a Championship defeat before that one as the away game against Dundee United wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
T. Walsh came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Dunfermline Athletic last time out, making the manager J. Robertson feel like a tactical genius.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Greenock Morton in just four days.
