Meistriliiga: High-level against not good enough, at least based on the matches so far. Flora - Tallinna Kalev. Home victory or a surprise?

Insights:
  • Flora have the most scored goals (49) in Meistriliiga
  • Tallinna Kalev have the fewest scored goals (16) in Meistriliiga

This arena has grass, which is not Tallinna Kalev's familiar surface at their own field. When appearing on grass Tallinna Kalev have performed like this: Played 28 matches taking 12 wins, 4 draws and 12 defeats with the goal stats 49-61 (scored/conceded).

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Flora have less rest than Tallinna Kalev in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa Conference League game only three days ago. That game was an away game at SJK, so at least Flora are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
