Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Flora & Trans face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Estonian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Flora and Trans.
Flora form and stats
Flora participated in Estonian Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.This stadium, A. Le Coq Arena, has been a fortress for Flora in the Meistriliiga so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 5-1-0. On the other hand, in the Estonian Cup, Flora has performed like this (both home and away): 5 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. In general it's been a long time since Flora tasted defeat here at A. Le Coq Arena, as they have taken at least one point from their last 13 home games in the league. Flora has a nice streak going on as they have played 13 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Nomme Kalju defeat 258 days ago.
A nice win for Flora last time playing, versus Trans. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1 with R. Sappinen, M. Kuusk and R. Alliku scoring for the victors. Before that match, a Meistriliiga win away at Kuressaare.
The manager J. Henn will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tulevik in only four days.
Flora are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (16 goals in 6 games). Flora have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Trans form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for Trans, as they won the Estonian Cup.0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Trans playing as the away team in the Meistriliiga this season. Total Estonian Cup statistics for Trans: 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Trans, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Kuressaare game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Trans seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Trans lost away at Flora (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 4-4 draw was the result before that, hosting Levadia in the Meistriliiga.
A quick return to home after this game, as Trans are hosting Paide in the Meistriliiga only four days away.
The visiting Trans have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 5 goals from 5 games. In the opposite end, Trans have conceded 9 goals in their away games.
