Insights:
  • All of Trans's home-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
  • Tallinna Kalev have the fewest scored goals (4) in Meistriliiga

This pitch has grass, which is not Tallinna Kalev's everyday surface at their own pitch. When playing on grass Tallinna Kalev have performed like this: Played 26 matches earning 12 wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats with the goal difference 46-44 (scored/conceded).

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 Trans and Tallinna Kalev.

Trans form and stats

Only two Meistriliiga home games for Trans so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The Trans regulars enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Vaprus and win 3-1.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Flora (0-1).

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Trans home games with this odds we find five games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in three wins, two draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Meistriliiga game versus Paide in only three days. This game is also played here at Kalevi Staadion.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Trans at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Meistriliiga travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Tallinna Kalev who have suffered through a seven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.

Tallinna lost away at Nõmme Kalju (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A 0-3 loss hosting Paide before that.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Tallinna Kalev played away with similar odds. This revealed four games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, three were draws and the home team won as expected one time.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Tallinna Kalev manager Anniste as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Legion.

The Tallinna defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 17 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the former ten meetings featuring these two squads are: six wins for Trans, three draws and one win for Tallinna Kalev. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
