It's advantage Maardu so far with their 2nd position in the Esiliiga table, welcoming Tammeka II who are placed 6th.
Maardu have less rest than Tammeka II in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Esiliiga game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Flora II, was also a home game here at Maardu kunstmuruväljak. The away team is better rested.
Maardu form and stats
Home games in the Esiliiga have been a walk in the park for Maardu so far, with 38 points won from 14 matches; 12 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Maardu, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Maardu fans got no joy from their last match, a Esiliiga game also here at Maardu kunstmuruväljak: A 3-5 defeat against Flora II. Before that game, the home loss against Nõmme United with the scoreline 0-2.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The match schedule is unforgiving for Maardu as they have a new game in only four days, a Esiliiga match thankfully also at home. Vaprus are visiting.
Maardu are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Maardu kunstmuruväljak in their league games, having scored an impressive 38 goals in 14 matches. Defensively Maardu have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (7 in 14 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Tammeka II form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Esiliiga travels is 5 wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats. Three has not been a lucky number for Tammeka II as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Elva match.
Tammeka II failed to get anything from their last game, a Esiliiga home match vs Nõmme United that ended with defeat 0-5. A loss against Elva was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Tammeka lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tammeka manager M. Pähn as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Flora II.
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Tammeka's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Tammeka II - Maardu 3-3 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last three meetings: two - one - zero (Maardu wins - draws - Tammeka II wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less.Top Goalscorers
