An important duel in the bottom section of the Meistriliiga, with both Legion and Kuressaare experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 7th place.

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.

Legion form and stats

Overall Meistriliiga stats at home this season for Legion are 0-2-3 (wins-draw-losses).

The fans are hoping that Legion will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Meistriliiga game against Levadia (placed 3rd). In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Tammeka.

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.

Kuressaare form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kuressaare so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-4 (win-draw-lose).

Home advantage was not enough for Kuressaare in their previous game, as they lost their Meistriliiga-match, hosting Tammeka, 2-4. A 0-1 defeat away at Nõmme Kalju before that.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Kuressaare, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kuressaare as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. Kuressaare struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 10 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Kuressaare - Legion 0-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
