This match features two teams living in the basement of the National Division, Speranţa Nisporeni holding 7th place and Zimbru lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Nisporeni have less rest than Zimbru in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a National Division game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sheriff.
