Viimsi vs FCI Levadia II - Esiliiga A

The Esiliiga A returns to the home ground on August 15, 2026, where Viimsi and FCI Levadia II will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. 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.

Both Viimsi and FCI Levadia II will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Esiliiga A. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, L in their last five reflecting a win rate of 50%. FCI Levadia II travel in decent nick, WDWLW in their last five and a win rate of 44.83% this season. Where Viimsi have leaned on defensive discipline, FCI Levadia II have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. Skinner had another year to run on his contract but has decided to move on a month out from United beginning their Women’s Super League season at London City Lionesses on September 4.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Viimsi will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while FCI Levadia II must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. Tottenham have changed their approach and are spending big on players who already know the Premier League.

When E. Kouadio is on the pitch — 3 goals to his name this term — moments of magic are never far away, and the Esiliiga A's top scorer will be central to how this one unfolds. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. Carl Rushworth is set to follow Welbeck out of the exit door as he makes his move to Coventry permanent, while defender Igor Julio does not feature in Hurzeler's plans and has interest from Espanyol and other clubs in Europe.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Esiliiga A standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. Fulham's Antonee Robinson could be one of those, who would likely be a cheaper alternative to Hall, who has just enjoyed a breakout season with the Magpies.
