The league table in Meistriliiga tells a story about these teams so far, with Nõmme Kalju leading Kuressaare by 8 points. Match preview to follow:
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
0 - 0 - 8 with 8-35. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Kuressaare when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Kuressaare play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Nõmme Kalju form and stats
Nõmme Kalju, who have the most clean sheets (6) in Meistriliiga, have played 4 Meistriliiga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Nõmme, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The home team returns to Hiiu staadion after being equal after 90 minutes with Levadia (placed 4th) on their last time out; the Meistriliiga game ended 1-1. Before that match, a win away at Tammeka.
Nõmme has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. Nõmme Kalju have conceded 5 in these home matches.
Kuressaare form and stats
As the visiting team in Meistriliiga matches, Kuressaare have produced an overall stat of 2-0-3 so far.
Kuressaare have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 190 minutes ago. M. Pajunurm was the goal scorer.
Preceding that, the 0-4 home loss versus Flora.
Drawing 0-0 against Tulevik after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager R. Kozhukhovskyi needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
A new game in only four days for Kuressaare, the Meistriliiga home match versus Tammeka. Busy days.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Kuressaare have conceded 9 goals in these games.
