This is the 3. Liga: Series 2 season opener for these crews, whom look forward to battling for points again. Will Aerostar Bacău or Viitorul Ianca get that crucial first victory?
The hosts Aerostar saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Romania Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Focsani.
