A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Nõmme Kalju fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Tallinna Kalev's 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Meistriliiga.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Nõmme Kalju form and stats
2-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Meistriliiga numbers at home for Nõmme Kalju, who have the most clean sheets (7) in Meistriliiga, so far this season.
The Nõmme supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Kuressaare in Meistriliiga and win 1-0. Before that, Nõmme played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Levadia.
Nõmme are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Nõmme Kalju's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Tallinna Kalev form and stats
The visitors, who have the most conceded goals (28) in Meistriliiga, are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Meistriliiga.
H. Anier was the last player to score for the away team. Tallinna haven't scored a league goal in the last 263 minutes.
Tallinna might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Levadia proved too strong as Tallinna Kalev slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Kalevi Keskstaadioni kunstmuru. A 0-0 draw at Legion's stadium before that.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Levadia was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Tallinna have conceded 9 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
