After the first game it's Tallinna Kalev - Trans 0-0 in points. Who will triumph in this second Meistriliiga game of the season?
Tallinna's stadium, Kadrioru staadion, has a artifical turf surface. Trans have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Trans when playing on artifical turf; 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses from nine matches. They have scored 18 goals in these games and conceded 23.
Tallinna Kalev form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Meistriliiga game of the season here at Kadrioru staadion. Last season these fans witnessed 4 wins, 0 draws and 14 losses from Tallinna Kalev's 18 home games.
Preceding that match was a Meistriliiga defeat to Paide (1-8).
As mentioned above, Tallinna Kalev "killed" Voru FC Helios in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. E. Golovljov was absolutely essential when Tallinna beat Voru FC Helios 6-0, scoring three goals.
Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Tallinna have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn one and lost ten from eleven games. seven defeats by at least two goals.
There will be little rest for Tallinna after this match as they are travelling to Tammeka for a Meistriliiga game in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Tallinna Kalev at home in the league. 1 on target and 8 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Last season, Tallinna Kalev's league statistics were 6 wins, 6 draws and 24 losses, resulting in a 8th position in the Esiliiga. Over these 36 matches they scored 29 goals and conceded 89. Playing at home last season Tallinna Kalev managed 4-0-14 (win-draw-lost) with 15 goals and 40 conceded.
Trans form and stats
Trans play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Nõmme Kalju (placed 4th). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Nõmme Kalju.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Trans given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed three matches with three wins as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won two of these games by at least two goals.
A new game in only four days for Trans, the Meistriliiga home match versus Flora. Busy days.
Let's have a look at how Trans performed last season in the Meistriliiga: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 9 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 57 and conceded 49 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 5 and lost 6 with 28/22 goals scored/conceded.
