Argeş form and stats

The story so far in the Liga 1 for Argeş at their home stadium (Stadionul Municipal Nicolae Dobrin) is 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats. Two home wins in a row for Argeş bring valid hopes of a third.

The fans are hoping that Argeş will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Liga 1 game against Viitorul. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Voluntari in a game that was won 3-0.

The manager M. Ianovschi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hermannstadt in only four days.

The Argeş fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 15 matches. 17 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats

There's been little loot from Dinamo Bucureşti's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 15 away games in the Liga 1. Dinamo Bucureşti only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. The fact that Dinamo Bucureşti have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Bucureşti has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Bucureşti go into this game after a win, the home game against Astra (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) that ended 1-0. Before that, Bucureşti secured a home win against Hermannstadt with the score 2-0.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Uhrin Jr. when A. Radu scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute.

A new game in only four days for Bucureşti, the Liga 1 home match versus Chindia Targoviste. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bucureşti as they have only managed to score 12 times from 15 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Bucureşti have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Dinamo Bucureşti - Argeş 1-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last eight meetings): Argeş won three games, zero matches ended with a draw and Dinamo Bucureşti has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / three
