It's early days in the Esiliiga and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Elva form and stats
Elva's first home game here at Nike Arena Elva Kunstmurustaadion ended with defeat. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from 18 matches. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Elva to get some points in this home game.In their previous game, the manager V. Haan led his Elva to a defeat in the Esiliiga match away at Flora II. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Nike Arena Elva Kunstmurustaadion. Prior to that, an away loss at K-Järve JK Järve.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Elva at home. 1 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
