Tallinna Kalev
DDDDLW
Tallinna Kalev go into this clash after a 2-1 Meistriliiga win versus Harju JK in their previous fixture.
The only name on the scoresheet from Tallinna Kalev was Ats Purje (75', 80').
Tallinna Kalev have had no problems opening up opposition defences in their most recent fixtures, scoring 7 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Daniel Meijel will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Tallinna Kalev have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 6 of those same outings.

Prediction
Unfortunately for them, Tallinna Kalev have a very difficult task ahead of them to score any goals at all against a Flora side who will likely do really well on the scoresheet, should they play to their full potential here.
We can see a thumping 4-0 win which could even be higher for Flora by the conclusion of the match.
