FCI Levadia II vs Nomme Kalju II: Bet of the day
The Stage is Set: FCI Levadia II vs Nomme Kalju II
On September 15, 2025, at Maarjamäe Staadion, the reserve teams of two Estonian football giants meet in what is locally regarded as the “Reserve Derby.” While not carrying the same weight as their senior counterparts, this Esiliiga A encounter between FCI Levadia II and Nomme Kalju II holds significant importance in the league standings. With both teams positioned in the lower half of the table—Levadia in 8th and Kalju in 7th—this match represents a crucial battle to avoid relegation playoff contention.
Team Form and Tactical Analysis
FCI Levadia II, under Spanish coach Santiago García Carrero, has demonstrated both explosive offensive capability and defensive vulnerability. Their recent 6-2 victory against Tammeka Tartu II showcased their attacking prowess, but this was preceded by three consecutive home defeats.

NerdyTips AI NT 4.0 Betting Predictions
Primary Recommendation: Both Teams to Score (GG)
The AI recommends both teams to score with 5.0/10 confidence at odds of 1.29. This aligns perfectly with the statistical evidence: 61.5% of Levadia’s matches and 68.1% of Kalju’s games see both teams scoring. Both teams have demonstrated offensive capability but defensive vulnerability throughout the season, making this the most statistically supported prediction.
Alternative Value Bet: Away Win
The AI suggests Nomme Kalju II to win at 3.50 odds with 3.6/10 confidence. While historical data shows home advantage in Esiliiga A, Kalju’s superior league position and victory in the reverse fixture make this an intriguing value bet. The odds of 3.50 represent significant value given the relatively narrow gap between the teams.
Goals Market: Over 3.5 Goals
With 5.0/10 confidence and odds of 1.60, the over 3.5 goals market presents another strong opportunity. Both teams’ matches frequently exceed this threshold (46.2% for Levadia, 51.1% for Kalju), and their previous meeting ended 3-2. The attacking philosophy of both coaches and defensive vulnerabilities suggest another high-scoring affair.
Predicted Match Outcome
NerdyTips AI predicts a 2-3 victory for Nomme Kalju II, with a 1-1 scoreline at halftime. This projection reflects Kalju’s slightly better form and their previous victory against Levadia, while acknowledging Levadia’s home advantage and attacking capability.
Final Betting Verdict
For conservative bettors, both teams to score at 1.29 offers the safest return based on overwhelming statistical evidence. For those seeking higher returns, the over 3.5 goals market at 1.60 provides excellent value given both teams’ tendencies toward high-scoring matches. The away win at 3.50 represents a riskier but potentially rewarding option for value seekers.
