This match features two teams living in the basement of the National Division, Codru Lozova holding 10th place and Zimbru lying 9th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Codru Lozova form and stats
Codru Lozova have played three National Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. All in all it has been a very rough period for Lozova who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Sfintul Gheorghe, 104 days ago.
The Lozova crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-4 to Petrocub here at Stadionul Satului in a National Division match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sheriff (0-6).
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Lozova here at Stadionul Satului in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Lozova are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Zimbru form and stats
There's been little loot from Zimbru's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 7 away games in the National Division. Zimbru only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Zimbru, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team. It's looking increasingly bleak for Zimbru who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Dinamo-Auto was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Zimbru have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 319 minutes ago. V. Cemîrtan was the goal scorer.
Zimbru lost away at Sheriff (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Sfintul Gheorghe's place.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Sheriff was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Zimbru manager V. Goian as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Milsami.
The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Zimbru, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
