The glass has been half empty for Viimsi so far, and the same description fits Tulevik. These hardened teams would do anything for some crucial points here.

Insights:
  • Viimsi have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Tulevik have the most conceded goals (22) in Esiliiga A

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Esiliiga A game only three days ago.

Viimsi form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Viimsi's two home games in the Esiliiga A so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Viimsi Staadion.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 192 minutes without scoring a league goal. Siim was the last player to find the net.

The regulars are hoping that Viimsi will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against K-Järve JK Järve (placed 8th). The penalty miss from Sõerde in the defeat against K-Järve JK Järve was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Levadia II.

Viimsi are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Viimsi Staadion with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 17 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Viimsi has won twelve times, drawn three and lost two. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Viimsi has won by at least two goals eleven times when in this position.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Viimsi as they have a new game in only three days, a Esiliiga A match thankfully also at home. Elva are visiting.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Viimsi at home in the league. 5 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Tulevik form and stats

Tulevik are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Esiliiga A, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). With the Tulevik losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Tulevik are looking to quickly end their 203 minutes long goal drought in the Esiliiga A.

Tulevik might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Elva proved too strong as Tulevik slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans.

A 0-6 defeat away at Harju Jalgpallikool before that.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 18 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with five wins, three draws and ten defeats. eight games were lost by at least two goals margin.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tulevik manager Ilves as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against K-Järve JK Järve.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tulevik as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The Tulevik defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 10 goals in their away games.
