Astra and UTA Arad have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Liga 1.
- UTA Arad have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Astra and UTA Arad.
16 - 13 - 14 with 56-54. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for UTA Arad when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. UTA Arad play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
Astra form and stats
4 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Astra have to build on here at Stadionul Marin Anastasovici in the Liga 1. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Astra, their manager E. Neagoe and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Astra fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga 1 game also here at Stadionul Marin Anastasovici: A 1-2 defeat against CSM Iasi. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Chindia Târgovişte the opponent.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Astra as they are travelling to their away game against Gaz Metan Mediaş in the Liga 1. That match is three days after this one.
The Astra fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 18 goals have been conceded.
UTA Arad form and stats
As the visiting team in Liga 1 matches, UTA Arad have produced an overall stat of 7-5-3 so far. Recent form does not give UTA Arad much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Astra will be a tough nut to crack.
The manager L. Balint was unhappy after their last game, a Liga 1 match played at their home ground Stadionul Motorul. Arad suffered a 0-1 loss to Chindia Târgovişte. Preceding that game, the 1-4 loss visiting Arges's place.
After this away game UTA Arad return home for a Liga 1 game against CSM Iasi. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The visiting Arad have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 17 goals from 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 16 goals have been conceded by UTA Arad in these games.
