Gaz Metan Mediaş form and stats

With {1 Liga 1 wins}, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Gaz Metan Mediaş, who have the fewest points (4) at home in Liga 1, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mediaş with their four defeats in a row. Not since the UTA Arad game, 40 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Gaz Metan Mediaş as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 220 minutes without scoring a league goal. N. Dumitru was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager D. Uhrin Jr. led his Gaz Metan Mediaş to a defeat in the Liga 1 match away at Astra. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan. Ahead of that match, Mediaş lost 0-3 at home to Sepsi.

The game against Astra was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.

Mediaş has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 6 matches. Gaz Metan Mediaş are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 6 played).
