Kuressaare takes on the visitors Kalju in the round 15 match of Estonian Miestrliiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 24th at Kuressaare Linnastaadion (Kuressaare).
Kuressaare, as for itself, started this season well. "Kure" were able to make a breakthrough in the middle of the last decade, having won 2 promotions in a row in a class. But at the level of the Miestrliiga, at first, they had to fight for survival. In the first 2 tournaments, the team finished in 9th place and went to the play-offs - but in both cases it was successful. Only in the last draw, Roman Kozhukhovsky's wards were able to add, to rise at least to the 7th position. And this progress is being made even now - the club has moved to the top of the standings, however, with rather mediocre statistics. Which was seriously worsened 0-4 with Flora.

Nõmme Kalju is trying to win back the positions they have lost recently. The Pink Panthers spent most of the past decade among the leaders of the country's top division. Twice, in 2012 and 2018, it turned out to become the champion of the country at all, a cup and a super cup were taken. But in both recent editions, the team finished in 4th place - a slump for someone who is used to seeing themselves as a giant. Now, of course, there are the usual favorites of the Miestrliiga, Flora and Levadia, and they started the current draw well. But it is Eddie Cardoso's wards who follow right behind them, not letting go. In the spring, Nõmme Kalju picked up an impressive form with a winning streak. And only Levadia was able to stop the team, beating them minimally on the road.
In September last year, Kuressaare managed to beat Nõmme Kalju on the road with a score of 3-0. But it was the first such success in a head-to-head since 2007. By the way, the clubs have already managed to play in this season of the national championship, and the Pink Panthers won 2-0 at home. Perhaps Kuressaare will be able to avoid such a rout as with Flora, but I don’t believe that she will cling to the points. We bet on Nõmme Kalju with a "-1 goal" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Nõmme Kalju to win with -1.0 handicap.
