CSM Iaşi form and stats

Things could have gone better for CSM Iaşi in their Liga 1 away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Iaşi are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and five defeats. From a total of nine matches.

Iaşi have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. The Iaşi manager D. Pancu has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
