National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Flora or Trans that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Flora nor Trans as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Flora form and stats
Seven points from three Meistriliiga home games is a great start for Flora, who are hoping to build on that form here at A. Le Coq Arena. 3W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Estonian Cup for Flora. Flora has a nice streak going on as they have played 25 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Tulevik defeat 307 days ago. 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 23 home games in the league.
The Flora supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Legion in Meistriliiga and win 2-1. In the game before, an away victory in the Meistriliiga match versus Nomme Kalju with a 2-1 scoreline.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of J. Henn when R. Alliku scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 75th minute.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Tammeka are coming to town in four days.
The Flora manager J. Henn has got the team scoring with 7 from 3 home games in the league. Defensively Flora have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Estonian Cup stats, they have 5 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses both home and away. Trans has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
