Tallinn Tech saw off Viimsi 85 to 64 in the Latvian-Estonian League on Saturday, running the home side out of trouble from early on. The visitors took control of a fixture that was always likely to tilt their way given where both sides sit in the table. Viimsi have been struggling all season, sitting tenth after twenty-six games with just seven wins, while Tallinn Tech occupy sixth with seventeen victories and nine defeats.
The gap between them on paper showed up on the scoreboard. Viimsi have only managed seven wins across twenty-six matches this season, and another loss does little to shift the line. Tallinn Tech's record speaks for itself — seventeen wins against nine defeats puts them in a position to push for something more by then.
And here's the thing, we had called for the away win before this one with sixty-six percent confidence. It came in, and the form of both sides explains why. Viimsi have lost their last four games, including heavy defeats against Pärnu and Riga, while Tallinn Tech came off a win against Groningen and only narrowly missed out against Riga.
The match itself was never really in doubt once the visitors found their rhythm. Tallinn Tech turned it around after the break and never looked back, leaving Viimsi chasing shadows. The final margin of twenty-one points tells you everything about a performance that was comfortable from start to finish.
By then, the result was clear — another loss for Viimsi and another win for Tallinn Tech. The home side remain rooted to the bottom half of the table, while the visitors move closer to the top four on goal difference. It was the sort of fixture that separates the two halves of this league.
