Targu Secuiesc form and stats

The 3. Liga: Series 5 season is young and Targu Secuiesc, who have the most clean sheets (1) away in 3. Liga: Series 5, have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

1 goal so far away for Targu Secuiesc, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
