Nõmme Kalju have performed better than Trans so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Trans's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Trans have performed like this: Played seven matches resulting in 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats with the goal stats 15-10 (scored/conceded).
Nõmme Kalju form and stats
When playing at home in the Meistriliiga, Nõmme Kalju, who have the most clean sheets (8) in Meistriliiga, have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 7 games.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Nõmme, who played 1-1 against Tammeka. That match was also played at this venue (Hiiu staadion).
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Nõmme Kalju's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn one and lost zero.
Nõmme are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Nõmme have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Trans form and stats
There's been little loot from Trans's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Meistriliiga. Trans only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Trans goalkeeper Aleksei Matrossov is eager to challenge this, with his 216 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
The supporters enjoyed Trans's previous game versus Kuressaare (placed 8th), a Meistriliiga 1-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Paide III in the Estonian Cup.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Trans playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Estonian Cup trip to Vastseliina Tannem.
Trans find the net regularly in their away games. 8 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. As for defending, Trans rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches.
