Only a few games have been played in the 3. Liga: Series 4 so far, with Metalul Buzău placed 6th and Baloteşti sitting in the 10th position.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Romania Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Focsani, was also a home game here at Teren Sintetic Cornel Negoescu. The away team is better rested.
Metalul's stadium, Teren Sintetic Cornel Negoescu, has a artifical turf surface. Baloteşti have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Baloteşti when playing on artifical turf; 1 win, 0 draws and 5 losses from six matches. They have scored 5 goals in these games and conceded 21.
Metalul Buzău form and stats
Metalul Buzău have only played one 3. Liga: Series 4 game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from 8 matches.
Heartbreak before that as Metalul lost 1-2 at Voluntari II's place.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Metalul Buzău at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Baloteşti form and stats
It's not happening yet for Baloteşti on their 3. Liga: Series 4 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Baloteşti have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 17 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Juventus Bucuresti game.
Home advantage was not enough for Baloteşti in their previous game, as they lost their 3. Liga: Series 4-match, hosting Tunari, 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rapid Bucuresti II wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Baloteşti has managed 3 goals and let in 9 from 2 matches.
