National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ponferradina or UD Ibiza that keep their silverware dream alive.
UD Ibiza have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
It's no vacation for neither Ponferradina nor UD Ibiza as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
