The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Astra are in the 9th position while the guesting CSM Iaşi worry at 16th.
- CSM Iaşi have the most conceded goals (64) in Liga 1
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Liga 1 match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Chindia Targoviste, so at least Astra are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

D. Popadiuc was the last player to score for the away team. CSM Iaşi haven't scored a league goal in the last 349 minutes.
There might be some fixture complaints from Iaşi as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Liga 1 match against Chindia Targoviste (0-2). A loss against Voluntari was the result prior to that, in a home game.
