Tulevik will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 11 points behind 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!
Tulevik form and stats
Tulevik have collected 12 points from their Meistriliiga home games so far after 4-0-5. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Tulevik to get some points in this home game. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Tulevik, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Tulevik fans got no joy from their last match, a Meistriliiga game also here at Viljandi linnastaadion: A 1-3 defeat against Paide (placed 3rd).
Tulevik has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Nõmme Kalju form and stats
Nõmme Kalju, who have the most clean sheets (10) in Meistriliiga, have an excellent away record in the Meistriliiga so far with 7-1-1 from 9 games.
Nõmme have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Marko Meerits. It's been 191 minutes since they last conceded in Meistriliiga.
Two travels in a row for Nõmme, whose manager M. Kristal could celebrate last time after the Meistriliiga win against Legion. That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Trans.
As mentioned above, Nõmme Kalju was the only team on the pitch versus Legion in their previous game, winning 6-0. This could be a tougher task.
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 26 goals in 9 league games away this season. Nõmme are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 4 away goals have been conceded so far.
