On Tuesday evening, two of the teams flying high in the Estonian top-flight meet, as Flora Tallinn host Nomme Kalju at the A. Le Coq Arena in a Tallinn derby.
The two teams are top and third respectively in the Meistriliiga. However, Flora are nine points clear of the visitors in the race for the title after 15 league games this season.
The team from the Estonian capital have been in sparkling form this season, winning 13 of their 15 league games this season. Flora have been prolific of late in the Estonian top-flight in recent matches, having scored at least twice in eight of their last nine outings.
Flora’s games have certainly offered good value when it comes to goals, as eight of those aforementioned nine league games have produced over 2.5 goals.
Despite their strong campaign so far this season, Flora have picked up just one point from their last two matches on home soil in the Estonian top-flight. In their last home match in the league, Flora suffered a 3-1 defeat against second-place Levadia.
Nomme Kalju are enjoying a strong campaign in the Estonian top-flight. They head into this derby clash on the back of six wins in their last seven league games, including three straight wins in the Estonian top-flight.
Just like the home side, the visitors have been impressive in front of goal of late, scoring at least twice in four of their last five league matches. The visitors have also been strong in defence, keeping clean sheets in three of their last four outings in the Meistriliiga.
Nomme Kalju have an incredible recent away record in the Estonian top-flight, as they are undefeated in 29 matches on their travels.
Recent clashes between these two teams have been relatively close, as three of the last meetings have finished in draws. Forebet predicts that this game will follow suit, finishing in a low-scoring draw.
