National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Täby or Sirius that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Täby and Sirius.
Täby form and stats
Täby have reached this Svenska Cupen stage through battling and winning against Karlberg. Täby participated in Svenska Cupen the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.The Täby supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Piteå in Division 1: North and win 2-1.
Heartbreak before that as Täby lost 1-5 at Dalkurd's place.The manager D. Erlandsson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hammarby Talang in only four days.
Sirius form and stats
Last season their Svenska Cupen adventure ended in the group stage.There's been little loot from Sirius's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Allsvenskan. Sirius only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws.
The manager D. Bäckström was unhappy after their last game, a Allsvenskan match played at their home ground Studenternas IP. Sirius suffered a 0-1 loss to AIK. Tim Björkström was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.45. The defender Björkström won 9 of 12 duels.
Ahead of that match was the Allsvenskan away draw versus Varberg BoIS that ended 0-0.The schedule is very tough for Sirius now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Allsvenskan game at Örebro is waiting in only three days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sirius have scored 8 goals in 8 league games away. Sirius have conceded 19 goals in these games.
