The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Tulevik are in the 5th position while the guesting Kuressaare worry at 8th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Tulevik form and stats
4 victories, 0 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Tulevik have to build on here at Viljandi linnastaadion in the Meistriliiga. It's been an uphill battle for Tulevik in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Tammeka game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Happy days for Tulevik in their previous game, a Meistriliiga match away at Trans (placed 7th) that ended with a 1-0 victory.
There will be little rest for Tulevik after this match as they are travelling to Nomme Kalju for a Meistriliiga game in only four days.
The Tulevik fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Tulevik with 22 goals conceded in these matches.
Kuressaare form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kuressaare so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose). Kuressaare are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Tulevik fixture.
Kuressaare played 2-2 against Legion in their previous match. A loss against Levadia was the result prior to that, in a home game.
It looked so good for Kuressaare vs Legion, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Estonian Cup trip to Tartu Welco.
Goals are few and far between in Kuressaare's away league games. Only 5 goals from 10 travels. Kuressaare's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Kuressaare - Tulevik 3-0 entered in the official records. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - zero - seven (Tulevik wins - draws - Kuressaare wins). As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Top Goalscorers
