Hermannstadt form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hermannstadt so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-6 (win-draw-lose). Hermannstadt are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Chindia Târgovişte fixture. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Hermannstadt has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Academica Clinceni for a Liga 1 game that ended a draw (1-1). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against CFR Cluj.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hermannstadt playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 1 Hermannstadt win, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Hermannstadt have conceded 21 goals in these games.
