The Academica Clinceni manager I. Poenaru attacks this game with the team placed 12th so far. In the visitors dressing room Gaz Metan Mediaş and their manager D. Uhrin Jr. are in 6th place before this match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Academica Clinceni form and stats
