Struggling Kuressaare will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Flora in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
The visiting Flora played their last game only four days ago, a Meistriliiga match. That game, against Trans, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Flora.
Kuressaare form and stats
With 2 Meistriliiga wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Kuressaare are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Kuressaare who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Tulevik, 115 days ago. Kuressaare are slowly digging their own grave here at Kuressaare linnastaadion with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Tulevik match.
No payout for Kuressaare in their previous match, an away game at Tammeka that ended in defeat 2-4. Before that game, the home loss against Tallinna Kalev with the scoreline 0-1.
Did Kuressaare get overconfident in their match against Tammeka? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-4 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Kuressaare have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn two and lost twelve from 14 games. eleven defeats by at least two goals.
Kuressaare are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Kuressaare with 28 goals conceded in these matches.
Flora form and stats
The away performances of Flora, who have the most scored goals (58) in Meistriliiga, have been very solid so far with 10 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat in the Meistriliiga. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. In general it has been a productive period now for Flora as they haven't lost any of their last eleven games. A great winning streak in away games for Flora as they have managed to win six matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Tulevik have they travelled home without three points.
It's the second away game in a row for Flora, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Trans (placed 7th) in the Meistriliiga last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Tulevik.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Flora given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed 18 matches with 17 wins as expected, zero draws and one surprise home win. The favourites won 17 of these games by at least two goals.
A new game in only three days for Flora, the Meistriliiga home match versus Paide. Busy days.
