Astra form and stats

4-6-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 1 numbers at home for Astra so far this season. Astra has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Argeş defeat 77 days ago. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Stadionul Marin Anastasovici, but a victory now would be sweet for Astra.

In the match before that, Astra hosted Dinamo Bucureşti and drew the game 0-0.

There will be little rest for Astra after this match as they are travelling to Chindia Targoviste for a Liga 1 game in only four days.

Astra are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Astra have conceded 18 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
