Tartu Welco form and stats

Tartu Welco's results here at Annelinna Gümnaasium staadion in the Esiliiga A have been very modest with 3 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats.

Tartu are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Trans.

Heartbreak before that as Tartu lost 0-4 at Paide U21's place.

The Tartu fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Tartu Welco defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

The away performances of Tallinna Kalev have been very solid so far with 10 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats in the Esiliiga A. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. In general it has been a productive period now for Tallinna Kalev as they haven't lost any of their last 21 games.

Tallinna delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Nomme United (placed 5th) in their previous match; a Esiliiga A game.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Flora II.

The schedule is very tough for Tallinna now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Esiliiga A game at Nomme United is waiting in only three days.

The Tallinna manager D. Meijel has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 33 goals in 11 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Tallinna Kalev as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.

Head to head numbers (for the former six meetings): Tartu won zero games, zero matches ended in a draw and Tallinna Kalev got six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / one
