Kalju take on the visitors Paide at “Ground Hiiu Stadium” in the gameweek 17 of the Estonian Meistriliiga. The natch will be played in Tallinn on Saturday, May 26th.
Kalju couldn’t beat Tallinna Kalev in the previous round, having got only 2:2 draw on the road. Thus, the hosts urgently need to rehabilitate in the next home clash against Paide. At the moment “Roosad Pantrid” are taking the lead in the Meistriliiga standings with 35 points earned, being only one point above Levadia which currently sit on the second place while Flora occupy the third position in the table with 33 points collected. All of them lost points in the previous gameweek and now none of them can afford lose more points in the upcoming battle.

In their turn, Paide will probably come up to the fight with clear understanding that it would be extremely difficult to pick up at least a point in it. As the team was beaten 1:4 by Kalju at the home field, the upcoming away tackle would be much harder. At this moment Paide settle on the sixth position in the Meistriliiga standings with 14 points earned. Thus, the club is a stable mid-table side which is not capable to compete on equal with the grands, especially on the road.
Last season Kalju deserved only the bronze medals while in this one the club has great chances to claim for the champion’s title. The hosts must forget the previous round and focus on the forthcoming fight. Paide are likely to concentrate on defense, but in case of a goal conceded, I assume they will surge forward which will result in more goals conceded. Anyway, I expect for an interesting tackle as there is an obvious favourite and obvious underdog, thus, I believe that at least three goals will be scored in the upcoming head-to-head.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
