Universitatea Craiova form and stats

Universitatea was sent out of Romania Cup in the quarter-finals last season.

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Universitatea Craiova so far, with 5-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Liga 1 statistics. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the FCSB game have they lost an away game, meaning Universitatea Craiova has taken points from nine away matches in a row.

Universitatea Craiova are looking to quickly end their 237 minutes long goal drought in the Liga 1.

Universitatea Craiova has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Botosani for a Liga 1 game that ended a draw (0-0). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Chindia Targoviste.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Universitatea given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed one match with one win as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won zero of these games by at least two goals.

Universitatea Craiova has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 6 games. Universitatea are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 2 away goals have been conceded so far.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last two meetings): Progresul won zero games, two matches ended with a draw and Universitatea Craiova has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: zero / two
