Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Tallinna Kalev & Nõmme United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Estonian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Meistriliiga match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Paide.

Tallinna Kalev form and stats

Tallinna was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Estonian Cup.

Tallinna Kalev's struggle is real here at Kadrioru staadion with only 4 points collected from 8 Meistriliiga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-1-6. All in all it has been a very rough period for Tallinna who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Legion, 71 days ago. The home stadium (Kadrioru staadion) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Tallinna Kalev it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

Tallinna are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 232 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by H. Anier).

Tallinna faced defeat in their previous match, away at Paide (0-4). Ahead of that match, Tallinna Kalev lost 0-3 at home to Flora.

As you see from the result above, Tallinna Kalev suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Tallinna matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).

The manager L. Leetma will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Trans in only four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Tallinna means that they have only scored 3 goals in 8 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Tallinna have allowed the opposition to score 24 goals here at Kadrioru staadion. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Tallinna have let the opposition score 24 times, an average of more than three per game.

Nõmme United form and stats

Last season their Estonian Cup adventure ended in the 32nd finals.

Nõmme United's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Nõmme United collect 17 points from their 8 away matches in the Esiliiga. 5 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

There might be some fixture complaints from Nõmme as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Esiliiga match against Vaprus (0-1). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Vandra in the Esiliiga.

After this away game Nõmme United return home for a Esiliiga game against Levadia II. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 22 goals in 8 league games away this season. 11 goals have been conceded by Nõmme United in these games.
