Talinna Kalev vs Kalju Analysis
Second-from-bottom Talinna Kalev welcomes in third-place Kalev on Tuesday as they look to rally behind a recent impressive four-game unbeaten streak over in the Estonian Meistriliiga.
Eleven losses from 17 games this season has seen Talinna Kalev slide down to near bottom of the table, but they’ve seen a mini-resurgence of late, winning and drawing each of their last two games both home and away in the league.
Kalju, despite winning ten of their 16 games this season, has hit something of a stumbling block recently, winning just one of their last four games in the league overall and only one of their last five on the road also.
Kalju has an impressive head-to-head record against Talinna Kalev over recent seasons, winning each of their last seven games outright against them by a combined 22-4 scoreline.
Kalju Needs A Rapid Improvement In Away Form
Going by the last six game road table, Kalev actually ranks bottom-half in the league on recent form generating just 0.83 points per game over that six game stretch and keeping zero clean sheets across that run also.
The only positive for Kalju over that recent run of road games was that they faced some of the better teams in the division, of which Talinna Kalev certainly aren’t one.
Joint league leaders Flora Talinn and FCI Levadia along with fifth-place Kuressaare made up some of the teams that Kalju failed to get a recent road win over, but they shouldn’t face that same hurdle against Talinna Kalev here on Tuesday.
Defense Remains a Huge Issue For Talinna Kalev
With 46 goals conceded over just 17 games this season (an average of 2.71 goals against per game), Talinna Kalev is rooted around the bottom of the league for most of the season.
Talinna Kalev unsurprisingly also own the league’s worst goal differential this season and the highest expected goals against average in the league this year as well.
The only slight positive for Kalev is that their numbers have upticked at home this season, averaging 1.86 goals against per game to opponents and the league’s second-highest xGA average overall.
Talinna Kalev vs Kalju Prediction
Kalju should get back to winning ways here on Tuesday and we like them on the half-time/full-time prop line at -138 to start fast and get the outright win against Talinna Kalev in this one.
Kalju has scored seven goals over their last three head-to-heads against Talinna Kalev in the first half and that should continue here on Tuesday against the league’s worst defensive side this season.
Take Kalju on the HT/FT prop line at -138 to get the outright win against Talinna Kalev over in the Estonian Meistriliiga on Tuesday.
