Elva form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Nike Arena Elva as Elva have scored 19 goals to get 15 points from 7 games. The overall stats in the Esiliiga are 5-0-2 (wins-draws-losses). Elva has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Flora II defeat 58 days ago. After failing to beat Flora II here at Nike Arena Elva, Elva has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

Elva's last game was hosting Tammeka II and winning 4-1. Before that match, a win away at Rakvere Tarvas.

This is expected to be a close game, with Elva perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Elva as a small favourite), we find one game. Elva has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 0.
