Pärnu hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 5 points and a 9th position in the Esiliiga table. Visiting Elva holds 5th place with 12 pts.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Esiliiga match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Levadia II.

Pärnu form and stats

Pärnu, who have the most conceded goals (21) in Esiliiga, have collected 4 points from their Esiliiga home games so far after 1-1-3. It's trouble wherever Pärnu are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. With Pärnu having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager I. Prins.

The fans are hoping that Pärnu will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Esiliiga game against Levadia II (placed 8th). Before that game, the home loss against Nomme United with the scoreline 1-3.

There will be little rest for Pärnu after this match as they are travelling to Vändra for a Esiliiga game in only four days.

Pärnu have scored 4 league goals here from 5 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Pärnu have conceded 7 goals.

Elva form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Esiliiga travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Elva are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

It's the second away game in a row for Elva, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Vändra (placed 4th) in the Esiliiga last time out. A loss against Flora II was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Elva find the net regularly in their away games. 5 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. It's not easy to score on Elva as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
