Trans form and stats

The story so far in the Meistriliiga for Trans at their home stadium (Kreenholmi Staadion) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. It's been an uphill battle for Trans in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Tammeka game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

The home team returns to Kreenholmi Staadion after being equal after 90 minutes with Nomme Kalju (placed 4th) on their last time out; the Meistriliiga game ended 1-1.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Legion the opponent.

Trans are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Trans defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
