National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sporting Gijón or Valencia that keep their silverware dream alive.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Valencia, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.

Only a few days to rest for the home side, as they were involved in a La Liga 2 game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Racing Santander, so at least Sporting Gijón are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
