Season ticket holders at Kalevi Keskstaadioni kunstmuru haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Tallinna Kalev languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Kuressaare will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It's no vacation for neither Tallinna Kalev nor Kuressaare as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike Kuressaare's home stadium. The visitors last twelve games on artificial turf have ended in 5 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

With 1 win, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Tallinna Kalev are certainly not brimming with confidence. Three consecutive losses here at Kalevi Keskstaadioni kunstmuru is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Tallinna Kalev's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Paide. Before that, Tallinna Kalev played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Maardu.
