Competition: Estonia Meistriliiga
Date: Fri 16.August
Match begins: 16:30 (UTC)
Venue: Kalevi Keskstaadioni kunstmuru (1360 seats)

The visiting Flora side should be favourites in this visit to Tallinna Kalev, as the away team holds a 39 point advantage from their 22 league games this season.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Meistriliiga. That game was also an away game, at Kuressaare. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Flora's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Flora have performed like this: Played eight matches resulting in 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat with the goal stats 15-7 (scored/conceded). These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

With 2 wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Tallinna Kalev are certainly not brimming with confidence. Game days at Kalevi Keskstaadioni kunstmuru have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Tallinna Kalev as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Happy days for Tallinna Kalev in their previous game, a Meistriliiga match away at Kuressaare that ended with a 1-0 victory. In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Hell Hunt.

There will be little rest for Tallinna Kalev after this match as they are travelling to Pohja Sakala for a Estonian Cup game in only four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Tallinna Kalev here at Kalevi Keskstaadioni kunstmuru, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 10 games). As for conceded goals, Tallinna Kalev's unpleasant statistic is 7 goals surrendered.

It's the second away game in a row for Flora, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Kuressaare in the Meistriliiga last time out. A loss against Tammeka was the result prior to that, in a home game.
