Linfield vs Nomme Kalju prediction

In the first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League first qualifying round tie, Nomme Kalju edged past Linfield by a goal to nil at the Hiiu Stadium in Tallinn. Croatian defender Roko Vukusic scored the only goal of the game just after the half-time interval.

Nomme Kalju had the weekend off as they finished third in the Estonian Meistriliiga, finishing behind the Tallinn giants FCI Levadia and Flora. Linfield, under the management if David Healy, finished behind Larne, Glentoran and Coleraine in the NIFL Premiership last season.

Linfield remain in a state of flux and so Nomme Kalju should come out on top in this second-leg, especially with their home advantage.
