There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Meistriliiga table so far. Here's the Tammeka - Nõmme Kalju latest:

It's no vacation for neither Tammeka nor Nõmme Kalju 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 pitch has grass, which is not Nõmme Kalju's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Nõmme Kalju have performed like this: Played 41 matches resulting in 25 wins, 11 draws and 5 defeats with the goal stats 85-30 (scored/conceded).

Tammeka form and stats

With 1 Meistriliiga win, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Tammeka are certainly not brimming with confidence. With nine home Meistriliiga games in a row without a win, the Tammeka fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Tulevik game long ago, can be stopped today.

Tammeka drew their last game, also a home match. Nõmme Kalju (placed 4th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. In the game before, an away victory match versus Tallinna Kalev with a 2-1 scoreline.

Tammeka aren't scoring a lot here at Tamme staadion in the league, with only 8 goals from 10 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Tammeka defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
