Insights:
  • Kuressaare have the most dropped points from leading position (6) in Meistriliiga

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Meistriliiga game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Nõmme Kalju. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Kuressaare form and stats

Kuressaare have played three Meistriliiga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Kuressaare are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. With Kuressaare having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager R. Kozhukhovskyi.

Kuressaare haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 351 minutes ago. M. Mannilaan scored that one.

In their previous game, the manager R. Kozhukhovskyi led his Kuressaare to a defeat in the Meistriliiga match away at Legion. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kuressaare kunstmuru. Prior to that, an away loss at Paide.

Kuressaare are traveling soon after this match as the Meistriliiga match at Trans awaits in four days.

Kuressaare are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. As for conceded goals, Kuressaare's unpleasant statistic is 8 goals surrendered.

Vaprus form and stats

Vaprus are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Meistriliiga, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

Two travels in a row for Vaprus, whose manager T. Midenbritt could celebrate last time after the Meistriliiga win against Nõmme Kalju. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Tammeka.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager T. Midenbritt when V. Vallik scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 56th minute.

A new game in only four days for Vaprus, the Meistriliiga home match versus Paide. Busy days.
