Comuna Recea form and stats
Last season their Romania Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.It's not happening yet for Comuna Recea on their Liga 2 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Comuna Recea has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Comuna Recea might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Petrolul 52 proved too strong as Comuna Recea slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Central Recea. Ahead of that match was the victory versus FCM Baia Mare at their stadium, the result 3-0.
The schedule is very tough for Comuna now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga 2 game at Aerostar Bacau is waiting in only three days.
