Tallinna Kalev hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 8th position in the Meistriliiga table. Visiting Trans holds 6th place with 29 pts.

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 Trans.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Trans have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-0-4 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
