Şcolar Reşiţa form and stats

There's been little loot from Şcolar Reşiţa's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 9 away games in the Liga 2. Şcolar Reşiţa only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Şcolar Reşiţa has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Sportul Snagov for a Liga 2 game that ended a draw (3-3). A loss against Ripensia Timişoara was the result prior to that, in a home game.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Şcolar Reşiţa, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Şcolar Reşiţa have conceded 14 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
