Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Tartu Welco & Kuressaare face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Estonian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Meistriliiga. That game was also an away game, at Tulevik. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Tartu Welco form and stats
Tartu was eliminated in the 16th finals last season in the Estonian Cup.Tartu Welco's struggle is real here at Annelinna Gümnaasium staadion with only 5 points collected from 8 Esiliiga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-5.
The Tartu Welco supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Flora U19 (after extra-time) in Estonian Cup and win 2-1. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Tallinna Kalev II.
Tartu are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. As for conceded goals, Tartu's unpleasant statistic is 23 goals surrendered.
Kuressaare form and stats
Kuressaare was sent out of Estonian Cup in the 16th finals last season.Kuressaare have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Meistriliiga, after 2-3-6 (11 played). Kuressaare are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Tulevik fixture. Kuressaare has drawn their two previous away games.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Tulevik in their previous outing. The Meistriliiga match ended in a draw 1-1. A draw for Kuressaare before that, at their own venue hosting Legion (2-2).
After this away game Kuressaare return home for a Meistriliiga game against Tallinna Kalev. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Kuressaare have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
