Hermannstadt form and stats

2-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 1 numbers at home for Hermannstadt, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Liga 1, so far this season.

Hermannstadt shared the glory with Argeş in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Voluntari.

A disappointing finish for Hermannstadt in their match versus Argeş as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

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 Hermannstadt have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.

The Hermannstadt fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 6 matches. On the other hand, Hermannstadt have conceded 8 goals.

CSM Iaşi form and stats

There's been little loot from CSM Iaşi's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the Liga 1. CSM Iaşi, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Liga 1, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws. Bitter travels for Iaşi as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the UTA Arad match.

CSM Iaşi played 0-0 against Academica Clinceni in their previous match. Preceding that game, the 1-4 loss visiting Dinamo Bucuresti's place.

We have checked recent matches where CSM Iaşi have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were one victory, three draws and six defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Iaşi as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league.
