Tallinna Kalev take on the visitors Kalju in the round 18 match of Estonian Meistriliiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 28th at Kalevi Keskstaadion (Tallinn).
Kalev returned to the country's top league. "Black-white-blue" have a glorious history. During the first independence, between the world wars, they were the champion and took the cup. And even in Soviet times, already as "Baltflot", at one time it looked good in the Soviet football championship. But in fact, this is a project that was recreated only in 2002, and, periodically climbing into Meistriliiga, it never took higher than 6th place there. Last season had to be spent at the level of the 2nd division of the country, fortunately, in 2021 it was possible to take second place there and earn the right return to elite. So far, the results there are modest, not even a point is scored on average per match. Fortunately, there is a very weak Vaprus, and the Legion is lagging behind.

Kalju are gradually losing ground. The Pink Panthers became national champions in 2018, for the 2nd time in their history. An in the following season there was only "bronze". And then twice in a row the capital club was limited to only the 4th position in the final standings. Now it is also already obvious that it will not be possible to impose a fight for the trophy on either Flora (to whom they recently lost, and without options, 0-2), or Levadia. But to claim a certain unofficial title of "the best among others" - this, it seems, is quite on the shoulder of Kalju, who show quite decent statistics in the starting segment of the current Estonian championship draw. So far their manage to take 2 points on average per fight.
Kalev last won a haed-to-head in 2009. Moreover, Kalju was able to defeat this opponent in all 7 recent fights, including victory this spring: 2-1 at home. Kalju will not fight for the title this season, but they deserve the 3rd place. Most likely, this team will be able to succeed in this match as well - we bet on the guests with a handicap of "-1.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Kalju to win with -1.5 handicap.
