Trans have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Meistriliiga, after 3-0-6 (9 played).

Trans play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 5-3 victory visiting Vaprus (placed 10th). That win was so vital for this team, after a painful period of eleven league rounds in a row not winning. An amazing comeback from Trans last time out, trailing 1-3 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Kozhevnikov scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. It's hard not to mention Kozhevnikov's lethal finishing against Vaprus. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
