Elva and Levadia II have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Esiliiga.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Elva form and stats

Elva have played 4 Esiliiga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Elva, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

In their previous game, the manager V. Haan led his Elva to a defeat in the Esiliiga match away at Parnu. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Elva linnastaadion. A strong away win before that one, visiting Vandra and winning 3-2.

Heartbreak for Elva in their last match as Parnu's K. Makovei scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

A decent goal production from Elva in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Elva defense is not exactly impregnable. 7 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Levadia II form and stats

The visitors are W1-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Esiliiga. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Levadia have lost on their last two travels.

Levadia II are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Esiliiga against K-Jarve JK Jarve (placed 10th). Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Parnu.

Levadia II have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 5 goals have been scored. Levadia II's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 8 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Levadia II - Elva 1-1 played earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Elva won three, Levadia II won five and two draws. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
