After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Otelul and Focsani in this fresh 3. Liga: Series 2 season. Read our match preview!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Otelul form and stats
Otelul have only played one 3. Liga: Series 2 game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats from 8 matches. In general it's been a long time since Otelul tasted defeat here at Stadionul Oţelul, as they have taken at least one point from their last twelve home games in the league.
Preceding that match was a Romania Cup defeat to Focsani (0-1).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Otelul at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Focsani form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first 3. Liga: Series 2 away game of the season. During their previous season 8 away games resulted in 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
The manager was unhappy after their last game, a 3. Liga: Series 2 match played at their home ground. Focsani suffered a 2-4 loss to Dacia Unirea Brăila (placed 2nd). Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Otelul.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Focsani, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Focsani have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: two - two - three (Otelul wins - draws - Focsani wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Otelul missing players
