National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kuressaare or Flora that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Kuressaare nor Flora 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.
Kuressaare form and stats
Kuressaare was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Estonian Cup.Kuressaare have played three Meistriliiga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Levadia (1-4).The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Flora to win.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Tammeka in the Meistriliiga.It's early days yet, but Flora has scored 6 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
