National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kuressaare or Tartu Kalev that keep their silverware dream alive.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Esiliiga B.

Kuressaare form and stats

Kuressaare was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Estonian Cup.

The story so far in the Meistriliiga for Kuressaare at their home stadium (Kuressaare kunstmuru) is 7 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats.

Kuressaare faced defeat in their previous match, away at Legion (2-3).

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Meistriliiga home game that ended 3-3 versus Paide.

Kuressaare are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Kuressaare kunstmuru with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 5 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Kuressaare has won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 1. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Kuressaare has won by at least two goals 2 times when in this position.

The manager Kozhukhovskyi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Flora in only three days.

The Kuressaare fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 26 goals in 16 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 22 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Tartu Kalev form and stats

They also participated in Estonian Cup last season. This ended in the 8th finals.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tartu Kalev so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-10 (win-draw-lose).

Tartu Kalev's previous game was their home loss versus Tabasalu (0-1).

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting TJK Legion II's place.

Tartu Kalev are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found 19 matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were 10 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. Of the defeats, 6 games were lost by at least two goals margin.

The schedule is very tough for Tartu now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Esiliiga B game at Tartu Welco is waiting in only three days.

Tartu Kalev are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 24 times in 15 away games so far. The Tartu Kalev defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 46 goals in their away games.
