An important duel in the bottom section of the Liga 1, with both Academica Clinceni and Hermannstadt experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 11th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Academica Clinceni and Hermannstadt.
Academica Clinceni form and stats
Academica Clinceni's struggle is real here at Stadionul Clinceni - Arena 1 with only 13 points collected from 13 Liga 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-7-4. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadionul Clinceni - Arena 1.
Academica Clinceni faced defeat in their previous match, away at Chindia Targoviste (1-3). Previous to that game, a home match hosting CSM Iasi in a game that was won 3-0.
There will be little rest for Academica after this match as they are travelling to Sepsi for a Liga 1 game in only three days.
The Academica Clinceni fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 13 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
Hermannstadt form and stats
Hermannstadt have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Liga 1, after 0-5-8 (13 played). It could be a hat trick of victories away for Hermannstadt, as they have won on their previous two travels.

After this away game Hermannstadt return home for a Liga 1 game against CSM Iasi. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Hermannstadt when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 13 league matches away. The Hermannstadt manager R. Albés Yáñez has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
