Only a win will satisfy the Maardu supporters in this Maardu linnastaadion clash with Pärnu, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Esiliiga table.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Estonian Cup. That game was an away game at Viimsi, so at least Maardu are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
