Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, CSM Iaşi in 7th and Sepsi in 6th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
CSM Iaşi form and stats

Iaşi lost their last game at Universitatea Craiova (placed 1st) after a 0-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, CSM Iaşi won a home game hosting FCSB (5-2).
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (7 in 3 games), CSM Iaşi's attacking play is working. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Iaşi with 6 goals conceded in these matches.
Sepsi form and stats
Things could have gone better for Sepsi in their Liga 1 away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.
The supporters enjoyed Sepsi's previous game versus Argeş (placed 15th), a Liga 1 1-0 win played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Voluntari.
The visiting Sepsi have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded by Sepsi in these games.
