A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Nõmme United fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Pärnu's 7th place in the table will show on the pitch.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Nõmme United form and stats

Nõmme United, who have the most scored goals (62) in Esiliiga, have collected 22 points from their Esiliiga home games so far after 6-4-2.

The Nõmme supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Maardu in Esiliiga and win 6-0. In the game before, an away victory match versus K-Järve JK Järve with a 8-1 scoreline.

As mentioned above, Nõmme "killed" Maardu in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Nõmme can score goals in their home matches. After 12 league matches they have found the net 25 times. Nõmme are not conceding a lot of goals here at Hiiu staadion in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 12 matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
