FCI Levadia II vs Elva - Esiliiga A

The history between FCI Levadia II and Elva lends this Esiliiga A fixture an extra layer of spice, and when the two walk out at Maarjamäe Staadion on May 28, 2026, recent encounters will be on everyone's mind. The 74-year-old Hoops boss admitted that "it'll be a bit strange not having the (Celtic) fans in but I'm nervously and excitedly looking forward to it; it's a great fixture" and also spoke about the police visit.

Form and standings can only tell part of the story when FCI Levadia II and Elva cross paths in the Esiliiga A, and pride alone should guarantee a contest. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, WDWLW in their last five reflecting a win rate of 44.83%. Elva travel in decent nick, D in their last five and a win rate of 46.67% this season. Where FCI Levadia II have leaned on defensive discipline, Elva have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. Despite his age, and recent injury record, Rodri remains the most complete central midfielder to have operated in the Premier League over the past five years.

Set-piece efficiency and transition play often decide fixtures of this nature, and both managers will have been drilling those phases on the training ground. Amad won possession in the PSG half before laying the ball off for Bryan Mbeumo to score.

The fixture features no shortage of talent, and the league's top marksman E. Kouadio — 3 goals this term — will be one to watch. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other.

The fixture has the feel of a coin-flip, and picking a winner with any conviction would require a braver pundit than most. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result. The result at Maarjamäe Staadion could resonate well beyond matchday in the Esiliiga A picture. In terms of outgoings, Perri seems closest to an exit, but that will likely have to wait until Trafford's mandated holiday after the World Cup is over or a No 2 arrives.
