Kuressaare vs Kalju Nomme
PREDICTION / ANALYSIS / ODDS

Kuressaare hosts Kalju Nomme at Kuressaare Linnastaadion in Meistriliiga Round 12 on Sunday, 17 May 2026. Kalju Nomme arrives as clear favourites, sitting second in the table with a commanding +15 goal difference, while Kuressaare languish ninth with a -9 differential. The visitor's superior league position and recent dominance make them heavy odds-on picks for three points.

Kuressaare are in freefall, winning just one of their last five matches while conceding seven goals. Their recent run includes consecutive defeats to Tammeka, FC Levadia Tallinn, and Nõmme United, signalling defensive fragility. Kalju Nomme, by contrast, boast seven wins and a +15 goal differential, though they have stumbled with three losses in five recent outings. The 4-0 demolition of Kuressaare in March underscores the gap between these sides, and Kalju Nomme's form rating of 67% dwarfs the home side's 33%.

The betting market reflects Kalju Nomme's dominance with the away win priced at 1.36, while Kuressaare are extreme outsiders at 7.00. The analytical model assigns 45% probability to an away victory and 45% to a draw, highlighting uncertainty despite the market's heavy lean. Over 2.5 goals is backed at 1.56, suggesting scoreline expectations lean toward decisive margins. Double chance X2 (draw or away win) trades at 1.06, the lowest odds available.

Key bet: Kalju Nomme to win outright remains the play at 1.36. Despite statistical model hesitation around the draw, the visitor's league position, superior attack rating of 73%, and comprehensive March victory establish them as genuine favourites to extend Kuressaare's slump.
