Trans form and stats

Trans's struggle is real here at Kreenholmi Staadion with only 6 points collected from 7 Meistriliiga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-5. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Trans to get some points in this home game.

Trans are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 287 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Koskor).

The Trans crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Nomme Kalju here at Kreenholmi Staadion.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Levadia (0-1).

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Trans have been in this position before, they have won 0, drawn 1 and lost 8 from 9 games. 6 defeats by at least two goals.

It should be added that a peek at the 12 most recent league fixtures shows that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Trans have scored {4 league goals} here from 7 matches, not a lot. 9 goals have been conceded.

Flora form and stats

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Flora so far, with 6-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Meistriliiga statistics. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Trans.

261 minutes! That's how long the Flora goalkeeper Evert Grunvald and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Two trips in a row for Flora, whose manager Henn could celebrate last time after the win against Harju Jalgpallikool.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Kuressaare with the score of 3-0.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset.

The favourites won 8 of these games by at least two goals.

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

Head 2 Head

Flora have pulled off a sequence of 35 consecutive games without defeat (31-4-0) when facing Trans.
