The visiting Sporting Turnu side should be favourites in this visit to Pandurii Târgu Jiu, as the away team holds a 24 point advantage from their 19 league games this season.
Sporting Turnu could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga 2 game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Mioveni, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sporting Turnu.
Pandurii Târgu Jiu form and stats
Pandurii Târgu Jiu's struggle is real here at Stadionul Municipal Drobeta-Turnu Severin with only 4 points collected from 8 Liga 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-4. All in all it has been a very rough period for Pandurii Târgu Jiu who hasn’t won a game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Metaloglobus, 77 days ago. With eight home games in a row without a win, the Pandurii Târgu Jiu fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the ASU Poli Timisoara game long ago, can be stopped today.
Pandurii Târgu Jiu haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 493 minutes ago. Lü Yuefeng scored that one.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Concordia Chiajna in the Liga 2 last time out and are looking for a win here. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Rapid Bucuresti.
Pandurii Târgu Jiu have scored 2 goals here in 8 league matches, a depressing statistic. Pandurii Târgu Jiu's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Sporting Turnu form and stats
3-1-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sporting Turnu, who have the most scored goals (16) away in Liga 2, in their Liga 2 matches away.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Sporting Turnu, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-5 versus Mioveni (placed 2nd). A draw for Sporting Turnu before that, at their own venue hosting Petrolul 52 (1-1).
A huge disappointment for Sporting Turnu in their last match (vs Mioveni). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all points were lost in a 2-5 defeat. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Sporting Turnu, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
The travelling fans enjoy Sporting Turnu's attacking play in away games, having scored 16 goals in 9 league matches away. In the opposite end, Sporting Turnu have conceded 16 goals in their away games.
