We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Argeş form and stats
Overall Liga 1 stats at home this season for Argeş are 5-6-4 (wins-draw-losses).
Argeş's previous game was a Liga 1 match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Chindia Târgovişte. The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hermannstadt (1-4).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Argeş have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Argeş, as the Liga 1 home game vs Chindia Târgovişte is only three days away.
Argeş are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 15 games. Argeş have conceded 17 in these home matches.
CSM Iaşi form and stats
CSM Iaşi, who have the most conceded goals (64) in Liga 1, have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Liga 1, after 3-2-10 (15 played).
Iaşi are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Liga 1 against Hermannstadt. Prior to that result Iaşi won their away game at Viitorul. The scoreline was 2-1.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager N. Napoli when Doru Popadiuc scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 6th minute.
CSM Iaşi are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and eight defeats. From a total of twelve matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Iaşi are hosting Voluntari in the Liga 1 only four days away.
Iaşi have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 15 goals have been scored. For CSM Iaşi, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
