Nõmme Kalju form and stats

3-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Meistriliiga numbers at home for Nõmme Kalju so far this season.

The followers are hoping that Nõmme Kalju will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the match against Levadia (placed 2nd). The game against Levadia was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Fortune for missing a penalty kick versus Levadia in the 74th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Ahead of that match, Nõmme Kalju lost 1-2 at home to Tallinna Kalev.

Nõmme are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found 8 matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won 3, drew 4 and lost 1.

Nõmme Kalju are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. 11 goals have been conceded.
