Esiliiga A
Team Comparison
FCI Levadia II
Viimsi
Match Preview
When FCI Levadia II and Viimsi clash at Maarjamäe Staadion on June 14, 2026, the stakes extend well beyond a single result — this is a Esiliiga A fixture that carries real weight for both clubs. That coronation came from City's £116m summer signing Elliot Anderson - and has been hotly debated in the build-up to the Manchester derby Super Sunday showdown at Old Trafford, which you can watch live on Sky Sports.
There is little to choose between FCI Levadia II and Viimsi on paper, and the Esiliiga A encounter should reflect that balance. It has been a solid if unspectacular run for the hosts — WDWLW across their last five with a win rate of 44.83% — and they will want to push on from here. The visitors have been a steady presence on the road, L in their last five and a campaign win rate of 50%. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. 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.
The tactical subplot is compelling: FCI Levadia II favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Viimsi are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies. Their press is quick and co-ordinated in some areas of the pitch and not others.
The fixture boasts genuine star quality. With E. Kouadio topping the Esiliiga A scoring charts at 3 goals, the stage is set for the kind of individual brilliance that can swing a contest. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. However, his contract expires in 2027, meaning the Czech midfielder could become a free agent if the club and player cannot agree on an extension.Alphonse Areola is also approaching the final months of his current deal.
The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. Expect a tight, competitive affair that could easily end all square at 2-2. Whatever the outcome, the Esiliiga A fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. The club are understood to favour a profile closer to Aurelien Tchouameni or a Premier League‑proven alternative rather than Manu Kone.
