Botoşani should be favourites to win this home game against Academica Clinceni, if the league table is anything to judge by. Or could we be looking at a possible?

Insights:
  • Botoşani have the fewest matches over the total-line (4) in Liga 1
  • Academica Clinceni have the most matches over the total-line (12) in Liga 1

There haven't been much to rest for the hosts, as they featured in a Liga 1 match only four days earlier. That game was an away game at U Craiova 1948, so at least Botoşani are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Academica Clinceni form and stats

Academica Clinceni have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Liga 1, after 1-2-9 (12 played). With the Academica losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Academica Clinceni are looking to quickly end their 230 minutes long goal drought in the Liga 1.

Academica Clinceni might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. FCSB proved too strong as Academica Clinceni slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadionul Clinceni - Arena 1.

A 0-1 defeat away at Arges before that.

After this away game Academica Clinceni return home for a Liga 1 game against SSC Farul. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Academica manager Chirilă has some worries about the defense as 29 goals have been conceded in these travels.
