With their 5 point advantage in the league table, Astra fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Hermannstadt.

Astra form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga 1, Astra have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Astra after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The fans are hoping that Astra will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Liga 1 game against Chindia Târgovişte (placed 11th). In the game before, an away victory in the Romania Cup match versus Horezu with a 2-0 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Astra have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 4 times, drawn 0 and lost 1.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (11 in 5 games), Astra's attacking play is working. Astra have conceded 8 from these games.

Hermannstadt form and stats

Hermannstadt, who have the fewest points (1) away in Liga 1, have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Liga 1, after 0-1-5 (6 played).

The manager C. Enache was unhappy after their last game, a Liga 1 match played at their home ground Stadionul Marin Anastasovici. Hermannstadt suffered a 0-1 loss to Botoşani (placed 6th). Prior to that result Hermannstadt won their away game at Chindia Târgovişte in the Romania Cup. The scoreline was 1-0.

We have checked recent matches where Hermannstadt have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were W2-D1-L2.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hermannstadt as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Hermannstadt's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 16 goals in 6 travels.
