The Paide crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Tulevik here at Paide linnastaadion in a Meistriliiga match. The defeat against Tulevik was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored two minutes into stoppage time (by K. Saag).

Vaprus form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Meistriliiga, on their Meistriliiga travels is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Vaprus who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Nomme Kalju was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Vaprus might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Nomme Kalju proved too strong as Vaprus slumped to a 1-7 defeat in front of their own fans at Pärnu Rannastaadion. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Nomme Kalju was particularly ugly (1-7). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Preceding that, the 0-4 home loss versus Levadia.
