Sepsi form and stats

Sepsi have collected 9 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 2-3-1. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

A strong away win for Sepsi against Gaz Metan Medias the last match, as Gabriel Vaşvari, Adnan Aganović and Claudiu Adrian Mihai Petrila were on target. Before that, Sepsi drew at home versus Botosani.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Sepsi's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won one match, drawn four and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sepsi as they are travelling to their away game against FCSB in the Liga 1. That match is four days after this one.

Sepsi are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Sepsi have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

UTA Arad form and stats

3-3-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for UTA Arad in their Liga 1 matches away.

Arad might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Universitatea Craiova proved too strong as UTA Arad slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadionul Motorul. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FCSB wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of UTA Arad when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning two games.

A new game in only four days for UTA Arad, the Liga 1 home match versus Astra. Busy days.

Arad have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. Arad have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
