Astra form and stats
Astra have collected 16 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 4-4-5. Astra has recorded two wins in a row here at Stadionul Marin Anastasovici, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
A strong away win for Astra against Chindia Târgovişte the last match, as Momčilo Raspopović were on target. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Hermannstadt.
The Astra fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. Astra's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Botoşani form and stats
5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Botoşani playing as the away team in the Liga 1 this season. Recent form does not give Botoşani much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Astra will be a tough nut to crack.
The manager M. Croitoru was unhappy after their last game, a Liga 1 match played at their home ground Stadionul Municipal. Botoşani suffered a 1-2 loss to Sepsi (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Universitatea Craiova wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Botoşani are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 18 away goals from 13 games (in the league). Botoşani's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
