After the first set of fixtures it's Nõmme Kalju - Flora 1-3 in points. Who will prevail in this second Meistriliiga game of the season?
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
The hosts Nõmme saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Meistriliiga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Tallinna Kalev.

Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Tammeka in the Winter Tournament.
The manager Koppel will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vaprus in only three days.
Flora form and stats

In total they scored 94 and conceded {21 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 15 - drew 2 and lost 1 with 49/12 goals scored/conceded.
Flora won their last game, 4-0 versus Harju Jalgpallikool played at home. As you can tell from the results above, Flora was very dominant against Harju Jalgpallikool, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Reinkort, Miller, Zenjov and Alliku providing the goals. Alliku has bagged at least one goal for the away side three games in a row. The smartness!
A disappointing loss as big favourites in the match before that one, the Super Cup fixture home against Paide.
A new game in only three days for Flora, the Meistriliiga home match versus Trans. Busy days.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - zero - nine (Nõmme Kalju wins - draws - Flora wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
