Petrolul 52 form and stats

The seven points Petrolul 52 have gathered from their first three away trips in the Liga 2 is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

Petrolul has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Sirineasa for a Liga 2 game that ended a draw (1-1). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Sirineasa that ended 1-1.

The schedule is very tough for Petrolul now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Romania Cup game at Metaloglobus is waiting in only three days.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Petrolul 52 are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Petrolul as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
