Legion form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Legion playing as the away team in the Meistriliiga this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Legion are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Flora's place.

As mentioned above, Legion was the only team on the pitch versus Vaprus in their previous game, winning 7-1. This could be a tougher task. It's hard not to mention A. Šapovalov's lethal finishing against Vaprus. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Legion playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Legion win, two draws and zero defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Legion now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Meistriliiga game at Tammeka is waiting in only three days.

Legion are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 5 games (in the league). 7 goals have been conceded by Legion in these games.
