Pärnu form and stats

0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Pärnu, who have the most conceded goals (23) in Esiliiga, in their Esiliiga matches away. Pärnu seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The supporters enjoyed Pärnu's previous game versus Elva (placed 6th), a Esiliiga 3-2 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Levadia II wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

Late drama in the previous game, when Nikita Gribov scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Elva.

Pärnu are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 4 games (in the league). There are big problems for the Pärnu defense as they have conceded 14 goals in 4 away games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Pärnu - Vändra 0-2 earlier this season.
