Competition: Estonia Meistriliiga
Date: Sun 05.May
Match begins: 12:00 (UTC)
Venue: Hiiu staadion

Nõmme Kalju will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 9 points behind Levadia.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Levadia have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-1-4 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches. These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
