Paide form and stats

Three Meistriliiga home games done for Paide, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Three consecutive losses here at Paide linnastaadion kunstmuruväljak is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

The Paide crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Levadia here at Paide linnastaadion kunstmuruväljak. The defeat against Levadia was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by Vastsuk).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Tallinna Kalev and winning 3-0.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Paide have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 18 games found in the database showing 16 Paide wins, one draw and one defeat.

Paide are traveling soon after this match as the Meistriliiga match at Trans awaits in three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Paide at home in the league. 3 on target and 6 scored by the opposition; from 3 matches.

Legion form and stats

It's not happening yet for Legion on their Meistriliiga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Legion are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Legion play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Flora (placed 1st).

The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-4 defeat against Nõmme Kalju.

Nobody expects Legion to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath seven times before, with the overall statistics of won one, draw one and lost five. When defeated, four matches have been lost by two or more goals.

A new game in only three days for Legion, the Meistriliiga home match versus Tallinna Kalev. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but Legion has scored 0 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: nine - one - zero (Paide wins - draws - Legion wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
