Struggling Kuressaare will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Flora in the upcoming league round. It’s 7th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kuressaare and Flora.
Kuressaare form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Kuressaare have to build on here at Kuressaare linnastaadion in the Meistriliiga.
Kuressaare's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-4 versus Flora (placed 1st). In the game before, an away victory match versus Tallinna Kalev with a 2-0 scoreline.
As you see from the result above, Kuressaare suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
No one expects the home team to get anything from this game. It's not often a home team are such massive outsiders as in this game. We've searched our database for matches where Kuressaare had similar winning odds as today, and found twelve games. In these, the hosts won zero, drew one and lost eleven. Betting people looking at handicaps might be interested to know that Kuressaare lost ten similar games by at least two goals.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Kuressaare here at Kuressaare linnastaadion in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 4 games). Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Kuressaare with 8 goals conceded in these matches.
Flora form and stats
As the visiting team in Meistriliiga matches, Flora, who have the most scored goals (25) in Meistriliiga, have produced an overall stat of 4-0-0 so far. Impressively, the visitors are on a seven-match winning run which they hope continue versus Kuressaare.
Flora have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Ingmar Krister Paplavskis. It's been 343 minutes since they last conceded in Meistriliiga.
It's the second away game in a row for Flora, but there's smiles all around after the 4-0 victory versus Kuressaare (placed 7th) in the Meistriliiga last time out. Before that one, a nice away victory 4-2 at Elva.
As mentioned above, Flora was the only team on the pitch versus Kuressaare in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
As mentioned earlier, Flora will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in twelve wins (twelve by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and zero surprising defeats.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Flora alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (12 from 4 played). As opposed to that, Flora have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
