National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Göztepe or Kırklarelispor that keep their silverware dream alive.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Super Lig. This match was also played here at Tire Tayfur Çiçek Stadı. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Kırklarelispor have had more rest.
