Two travels in a row for Nõmme, whose manager M. Kristal could celebrate last time after the Meistriliiga win against Tammeka. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Paide.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Nõmme alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (15 from 5 played). Nõmme Kalju's manager M.
