Only a win will satisfy the Petrolul 52 supporters in this Stadionul Ilie Oană clash with CSM Slatina, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the Liga 2 table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Petrolul and CSM Slatina.
Petrolul 52 form and stats
The story so far in the Liga 2 for Petrolul 52 at their home stadium (Stadionul Ilie Oană) is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Petrolul, their manager V. Moldovan and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Petrolul fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga 2 game also here at Stadionul Ilie Oană: A 0-1 defeat against U Craiova 1948 (placed 1st). Before that match, a Romania Cup win away at Metaloglobus (after extra-time).
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 Petrolul's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won one match, drawn zero and lost three.
A decent goal production from Petrolul 52 in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Petrolul 52 have conceded 4 in these home matches.
CSM Slatina form and stats
It's not happening yet for CSM Slatina on their Liga 2 travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Slatina's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Slatina play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to ASU Poli Timişoara (placed 3rd). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Sporting Turnu (after extra-time) in the Romania Cup.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Slatina playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
A new game in only three days for Slatina, the Liga 2 home match versus SCM Gloria Buzau. Busy days.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. CSM Slatina's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
