Astra form and stats

Astra, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Liga 1, are steadily winning Liga 1 games and points here at Stadionul Marin Anastasovici. 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 6 games.

Astra are returning here after visiting Botosani in a Liga 1 game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Sepsi and winning 3-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
