Nõmme United form and stats
Nõmme United have collected 10 points from their Esiliiga A home games so far after 3-1-4.
A good away victory last time out for Nõmme, who won 8-0 against Tammeka II (placed 9th). As mentioned above, Nõmme "killed" Tammeka II in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for R. Saarma when beating Tammeka II, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
Ahead of that match, Nõmme lost 2-4 at home to Maardu.The match schedule is unforgiving for Nõmme as they have a new game in only three days, a Esiliiga A match thankfully also at home. Paide U21 are visiting.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (17 in 8 games), Nõmme's attacking play is working. Nõmme are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (16 from 8 played). It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Elva form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Elva so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-7 (win-draw-lose).
The supporters enjoyed Elva's previous game versus Tartu Welco (placed 10th), a Esiliiga A 4-2 win played at home. As you can tell from the result, the match against Tartu Welco was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Prior to that result Elva won their away game at Paide U21. The scoreline was 2-1.The attacking power of Elva when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Elva have conceded 16 goals in these games.
