Trans are welcoming Tallinna Kalev for another important game after their 0-3 result against 2nd-placed Nõmme Kalju.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

4 - 10 - 22 with 37-86. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Tallinna Kalev when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Tallinna Kalev play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

Trans form and stats

Trans have played 8 Meistriliiga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). It’s been three wins in a row for Trans here at Kreenholmi Staadion, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

The fans are hoping that Trans will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Meistriliiga game against Nõmme Kalju (placed 2nd). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Kuressaare.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Trans have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 20 games found in the database showing 13 Trans wins, four draws and three defeats.

Trans are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. On the other hand, Trans have conceded 11 goals.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tallinna Kalev, who have the most conceded goals (41) in Meistriliiga, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Tallinna are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Legion fixture.

Tallinna Kalev are looking to quickly end their 232 minutes long goal drought in the Meistriliiga.

Tallinna lost away at Paide (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A loss against Flora was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Paide was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Nobody expects Tallinna Kalev to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 33 times before, with the overall statistics of won six, draw six and lost 21. When defeated, 15 matches have been lost by two or more goals.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Tallinna have conceded 17 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Tallinna Kalev - Trans 1-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Trans seven wins, three draws and Tallinna Kalev zero victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
