The strength of Tallinna Kalev on their travels this season is incredible with 24 points collected from 8 Esiliiga A away games. Tallinna Kalev has 8-0-0 on the road, with 28 goals scored and 6 conceded. In general it has been a productive period now for Tallinna as they haven't lost any of their last 13 games.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Tallinna goalkeeper Stiven Raider is eager to challenge this, with his 289 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
