Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Paide & Tulevik face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Estonian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Paide nor Tulevik 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.
Paide form and stats
Paide participated in Estonian Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.Paide are steadily winning Meistriliiga games and points here at Paide linnastaadion kunstmuruväljak. 10 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats is the summary from 13 games. On the other hand, in the Estonian Cup, Paide has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. Paide has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Paide linnastaadion kunstmuruväljak. We remember; it was Nomme Kalju.
The Paide supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Kuressaare in Meistriliiga and win 6-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Flora (0-1).
As mentioned above, Paide "killed" Kuressaare in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. E. Tur was absolutely essential when Paide beat Kuressaare 6-2, scoring three goals.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Paide, as the Meistriliiga home game vs Trans is only four days away.
Paide are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (34 goals in 13 games). It's worth mentioning that 46 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Paide's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Tulevik form and stats
Tulevik's mission in Estonian Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.Playing away, Tulevik have won 5 games, drawn 1 and suffered 6 defeats in the Meistriliiga this season. Tulevik seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Tulevik aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 270 league minutes without a goal. K. Saag was the last player to find the net.
Tulevik delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Legion in their previous match; a Meistriliiga game. A 0-1 loss hosting Tammeka before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tulevik manager S. Post as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Tallinna Kalev.
Tulevik have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Tulevik have conceded 18 goals in their away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
