CSM Iaşi form and stats

CSM Iaşi's results here at Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu in the Liga 1 have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

Before that game, the home loss against CFR Cluj with the scoreline 0-2.

The penalty miss from Floriano Vanzo in the defeat against Dinamo Bucuresti was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

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

The Iaşi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for CSM Iaşi with 16 goals conceded in these matches.

Academica Clinceni form and stats

2 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Academica Clinceni, who have the most clean sheets (8) in Liga 1, playing as the away team in the Liga 1 this season.

Academica has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Voluntari for a Liga 1 game that ended a draw (3-3). It was a Romania Cup defeat before that one as the away game against SSC Farul wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

It looked so good for Academica vs Voluntari, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. As you can tell from the result, the match against Voluntari was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? As mentioned above, Academica Clinceni drew the match against Voluntari. Manager I. Poenaru brought on Raul Rusescu to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
