With the anxious opening match done it’s time for the second Esiliiga B battle of the season. Tallinna Kalev II eagerly anticipate Tartu Kalev in front of their stadium regulars.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Tallinna and Tartu Kalev.
