Kuressaare vs Maardu match preview

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Meistriliiga game only four days ago.

Kuressaare form and stats

With 3 Meistriliiga wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Kuressaare, who have the fewest scored goals (18) in Meistriliiga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 17 attempts. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Kuressaare fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Tulevik game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Kuressaare will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Meistriliiga game against Tallinna Kalev (placed 8th). Before that game, the home loss against Paide with the scoreline 0-3.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Kuressaare handle that role? We have found two games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The win/draw/lost stats in these games are W2-D0-L0.
