Kuressaare form and stats

Kuressaare's results here at Kuressaare linnastaadion in the Meistriliiga have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

Happy days for Kuressaare in their previous game, a Meistriliiga match away at Tulevik (placed 9th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Nobody expected Kuressaare to beat Tulevik in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. K. Lapa, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 0.0 out of 10 in that game. Lapa . Things did not look good last match, when S. Kelder got a red card in the 77th minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from Kuressaare resulted in a win!

A strong away win before that one, visiting Tammeka and winning 1-0.

Kuressaare are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Kuressaare having conceded 15 goals here at Kuressaare linnastaadion so far.
