An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 10th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Tallinna Kalev and Maardu.

Maardu play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artificial turf. Recent stats for Maardu when playing on artificial turf are 10 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from 13 matches. They have scored 30 goals and conceded 17 times in these games.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

With 2 wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Tallinna Kalev, who have the most conceded goals (26) at home in Meistriliiga, 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.

The Tallinna Kalev fans got no joy from their last match, a Meistriliiga game also here at Kalevi Keskstaadioni kunstmuru: A 1-4 defeat against Maardu. In the game before, an away victory match versus Tulevik with a 2-1 scoreline.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Tallinna Kalev have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

Tallinna Kalev have scored 7 goals here in 10 matches, not a lot. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Tallinna Kalev having conceded 26 goals here at Kalevi Keskstaadioni kunstmuru so far.

Maardu form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Maardu, who have the fewest points (4) away in Meistriliiga, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-8 (win-draw-lose).

Maardu play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-1 victory visiting Tallinna Kalev. Preceding that, the 1-6 home loss versus Levadia.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Maardu in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Maardu, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

The attacking power of Maardu when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored in 10 matches. There are big problems for the Maardu defense as they have conceded 35 goals in 10 away games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Tallinna Kalev - Maardu 1-4 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 2 - 2 - 6 (Tallinna Kalev wins - draws - Maardu wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
