National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Eskilsminne or Helsingborg 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.
This is a local derby, usually meaning increased stress and importance.
Eskilsminne form and stats
Action has already taken place for Eskilsminne in Svenska Cupen as they have defeated Halmia to reach the 2nd Round. Last season their Svenska Cupen adventure ended in the 1st round.Ever since the Ullared game Eskilsminne has been unbeatable here at Harlyckans IP producing four straight wins.
