Meistriliiga prediction: Levadia should edge out Tallinna Kalev on their own turf

This ground has grass, unlike Tallinna Kalev's home stadium. The previous 35 games by the guests on grass have resulted in 15 wins, 6 draws and 14 losses.

These are active days for the home side, as they had a game only four days ago in the Super Cup. This match was also played here at Sportland Arena. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Tallinna Kalev have had more rest.
