The visiting Flora side should be favourites in this visit to Tallinna Kalev, as the away team holds a 43 point advantage from their 19 league games this season.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Tallinna Kalev's stadium, Kadrioru staadion, has a artifical turf surface. Flora have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Flora when playing on artifical turf; 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss from seven matches. They have scored 13 goals in these games and conceded 6.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

Tallinna Kalev's struggle is real here at Kadrioru staadion with only 4 points collected from 9 Meistriliiga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-7. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Kadrioru staadion, with the home team losing six in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Legion game.

Tallinna are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 502 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by H. Anier).

In their previous game, the manager L. Leetma led his Tallinna to a defeat in the Meistriliiga match away at Levadia. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kadrioru staadion.

The lack of attacking qualities in Tallinna Kalev means that they have only scored 3 goals in 9 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Tallinna having conceded 26 goals here at Kadrioru staadion so far.

Flora form and stats

Flora has 8-0-1 on the road, with 25 goals scored and 9 conceded. Impressively, the visitors are on a eight-match winning run which they hope continue versus Tallinna Kalev. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Flora's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Tulevik game.
