The managers C. Enache and D. Mangia are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga 1 league table.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga 1. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Sepsi.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
