Legion form and stats

Legion's results here at Kadrioru staadion in the Meistriliiga have been very modest with 0 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. With eight home Meistriliiga games in a row without a win, the Legion fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Vaprus game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Legion fans got no joy from their last match, a Meistriliiga game also here at Kadrioru staadion: A 0-6 defeat against Nõmme Kalju (placed 2nd).

As you see from the result above, Legion suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

The lack of attacking qualities in Legion means that they have only scored 1 goal in 8 league home games, less than half a goal per match. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Legion defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Flora form and stats

Flora, who have the most scored goals (46) in Meistriliiga, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 21 points collected from 8 Meistriliiga games. 7 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat is the record so far. Flora have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of six victories in a row regardless of arena. It’s been three wins in a row for Flora on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Flora's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Suduva (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) that finished 1-1. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Tammeka.

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 15 wins (15 by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and one surprising defeat.

Flora are a potent attacking force on the road with their 22 goals in 8 league games. Flora have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
