The league table in Meistriliiga tells a story about these teams so far, with Paide leading Kuressaare by 35 points. Match preview to follow:
Paide have less rest than Kuressaare in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Meistriliiga game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Flora.
Paide form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Paide linnastaadion kunstmuruväljak as Paide have scored 28 goals to get 27 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Meistriliiga are 9-0-3 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat Nomme Kalju here at Paide linnastaadion kunstmuruväljak, Paide has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.
Paide lost their last game at Flora (placed 1st) after a 0-1 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory match versus Nomme Kalju with a 3-1 scoreline.
Paide are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Paide linnastaadion kunstmuruväljak with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. 28 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Paide has won 21 times, drawn two and lost five. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Paide has won by at least two goals 15 times when in this position.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Tulevik are coming to town in three days.
Paide can score goals in their home matches. After 12 league matches they have found the net 28 times. 13 goals have been conceded.
Kuressaare form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kuressaare so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-7 (win-draw-lose). Kuressaare are desperate to end a 15-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Tulevik fixture.
Kuressaare failed to get anything from their last game, a Meistriliiga home match vs Flora (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-4. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Tammeka wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Flora was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Nobody expects Kuressaare to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 24 times before, with the overall statistics of won two, draw one and lost 21. When defeated, 15 matches have been lost by two or more goals.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Kuressaare have conceded 20 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
