Competition: Estonia Meistriliiga
Competition: Fri 31.July
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Kadrioru staadion (500 seats)

The visiting Flora side should be favourites in this visit to Tallinna Kalev, as the away team holds a 28 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.

The hosts Tallinna saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Meistriliiga. That game was an away game at Kuressaare, so at least Tallinna are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Flora's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Flora have performed like this: Played seven matches resulting in 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat with the goal stats 13-6 (scored/conceded).

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Meistriliiga this season. Tallinna Kalev, who have the most conceded goals (34) in Meistriliiga, have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 5 losses from their games here at Kadrioru staadion. The home stadium (Kadrioru staadion) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Tallinna it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

An away draw last time out for Tallinna, facing Kuressaare in a game that ended 2-2. Before that game, the home loss against Tulevik with the scoreline 0-2.

Tallinna have scored 3 goals here in 7 league matches, a depressing statistic. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Tallinna having conceded 21 goals here at Kadrioru staadion so far. Tallinna's defense is seriously deficient as 21 goals have been conceded in these matches.
