There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Maardu leading Pärnu by 21 points.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Maardu form and stats
Maardu, who have the most clean sheets (9) in Esiliiga, have been very solid at home in the Esiliiga so far, with 28 points collected from 10 matches (9-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. In general it's been a long time since Maardu tasted defeat here at Maardu linnastaadion, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Maardu has won their last four matches.
A good away victory last time out for Maardu, who won 4-0 against Flora II (placed 6th). A strong away win before that one, visiting Vandra and winning 2-1.
As mentioned above, Maardu "killed" Flora II in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Maardu are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Maardu linnastaadion in their league games, having scored an impressive 26 goals in 10 matches. Maardu have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals.
Pärnu form and stats
Pärnu have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Esiliiga, after 1-2-6 (9 played).
Pärnu won their last game, 4-2 versus Vandra played at home. Prior to that match, a home win 11-0 against K-Järve JK Järve.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Vandra was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Pärnu find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. There are big problems for the Pärnu defense as they have conceded 27 goals in 9 away games.
