It's early days in the Meistriliiga and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It's no vacation for neither Maardu nor Kuressaare as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
