Match begins: 14:45 (UTC)
Venue: Viljandi linnastaadion (2506 seats)

Season ticket holders at Viljandi linnastaadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Tulevik languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting Nõmme Kalju will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It's no vacation for neither Tulevik 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.

Nõmme Kalju form and stats

Nõmme Kalju's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Nõmme Kalju, who have the fewest conceded goals (5) away in Meistriliiga, collect 27 points from their 13 away matches in the Meistriliiga. 7 victories and 6 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). In general it has been a productive period now for Nõmme Kalju as they haven't lost any of their last 23 games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Maardu game have they lost an away game, meaning Nõmme Kalju has taken points from 13 away matches in a row.
