Kuressaare hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 9th position in the Meistriliiga table. Visiting Nõmme Kalju holds 4th place with 48 pts.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Nõmme Kalju's home stadium. The visitors last 40 games on grass have ended in 23 wins, 12 draws and 5 losses.
Kuressaare form and stats
Kuressaare's results here at Kuressaare linnastaadion in the Meistriliiga have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Kuressaare who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 16 attempts. Their previous win was against Tulevik, 128 days ago. With eight home Meistriliiga 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.
Kuressaare lost their last game at Paide (placed 2nd) after a 2-6 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Kuressaare lost 0-4 at home to Flora.
Kuressaare were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Kuressaare are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 13 games. Kuressaare have conceded 32 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Nõmme Kalju form and stats
Nõmme Kalju's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Nõmme Kalju, who have the most clean sheets (14) in Meistriliiga, collect 30 points from their 14 away matches in the Meistriliiga. 9 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Flora (placed 1st) in their previous outing. The Meistriliiga match ended in a draw 0-0. A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Legion.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Nõmme are regular goalscorers on their travels. Nõmme are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 7 away goals have been conceded so far.
