This match features two teams living in the basement of the Liga 1, Viitorul holding 11th place and CSM Iaşi lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Viitorul have the fewest clean sheets (1) at home in Liga 1
- CSM Iaşi have the most conceded goals (63) in Liga 1
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga 1. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Botosani.
