Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Eskişehirspor & Kastamonuspor face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Turkish Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a 1. Lig match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Adana Demirspor, so at least Eskişehirspor are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
