Tallinna Kalev form and stats

Tallinna Kalev's struggle is real here at Sportland Arena with only 10 points collected from 14 Meistriliiga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-10. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Sportland Arena.

The Tallinna Kalev supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Tulevik in Meistriliiga and win 1-0. Before that, Tallinna had a home game versus Trans which ended with a victory 4-1.

Tallinna Kalev are traveling soon after this match as the Meistriliiga match at Trans awaits in three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Tallinna here at Sportland Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 14 games). It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. As for conceded goals, Tallinna's unpleasant statistic is 37 goals surrendered.

Legion form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Legion so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-6 (win-draw-lose). It's three draws from Legion's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Meistriliiga home defeat versus Levadia with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 0-0 draw at Tulevik's stadium before that.

After this away game Legion return home for a Meistriliiga game against Kuressaare. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Legion as they have only managed to score 11 times from 13 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Legion have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Legion - Tallinna Kalev 2-0. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Tallinna five wins, three draws and Legion two victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
