Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Kuressaare linnastaadion (2000 seats)

Kuressaare are welcoming Tallinna Kalev for another important game after their 1-1 result against 9th-placed Legion.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This pitch has grass, which is not Tallinna Kalev's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Tallinna Kalev have performed like this: Played 34 matches resulting in 4 wins, 9 draws and 21 defeats with the goal stats 35-80 (scored/conceded).

Kuressaare form and stats

2-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Meistriliiga numbers at home for Kuressaare so far this season.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Legion that finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, Kuressaare "killed" Anija in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The Kuressaare fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Kuressaare with 12 goals conceded in these matches.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

Tallinna Kalev, who have the most conceded goals (32) in Meistriliiga, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Meistriliiga, after 1-1-4 (6 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Tallinna as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Legion match.

The attacking players of Tallinna have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 443 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Tallinna in their previous game, as they lost their Meistriliiga-match, hosting Tulevik, 0-2. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Nõmme Kalju's place.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Tallinna played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, two were draws and the home team won as expected one time.

After this away game Tallinna return home for a Meistriliiga game against Flora. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Goals are few and far between in Tallinna Kalev's away league games. Only 3 goals from 6 travels. As for defending, Tallinna rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Tallinna Kalev - Kuressaare 0-2 earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Kuressaare, one draw and five wins for Tallinna Kalev. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
