Argeş form and stats

3 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Argeş have to build on here at Stadionul Municipal Nicolae Dobrin in the Liga 1.

The fans are hoping that Argeş will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the Liga 1 game against CFR Cluj (placed 2nd). Before that match, a win away at Voluntari.

As you see from the result above, Argeş suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

This is expected to be a close game, with Argeş perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Argeş as a small favourite), we find seven games. Argeş has won two of these, drawn five and lost zero.

Argeş are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 12 games. On the other hand, Argeş have conceded 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

CSM Iaşi form and stats

CSM Iaşi, who have the most conceded goals (55) in Liga 1, have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Liga 1, after 2-2-7 (11 played).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga 1 home defeat versus Voluntari with 0-2 on the scoreboard. A 2-3 loss hosting Astra before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by CSM Iaşi in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Iaşi, three draws and two defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Iaşi have scored 11 goals in 11 league games away. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Iaşi concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head
