Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Botoşani in 8th and Dinamo Bucureşti in 10th place.
- Botoşani has the most dropped points from leading position (12) in Liga 1
- Dinamo Bucureşti have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Botoşani form and stats
Botoşani's results here at Stadionul Municipal in the Liga 1 have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 3 defeats. With seven home Liga 1 games in a row without a win, the Botoşani fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the CSM Iaşi game long ago, can be stopped today.
A strong away win for Botoşani against CSM Iaşi the last match, as Realdo Fili were on target. Before that game, the home loss against Arges with the scoreline 0-1.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. Croitoru when Realdo Fili scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Botoşani have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won one, drawn three and lost three.
The manager M. Croitoru will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Academica Clinceni in only two days.
Botoşani are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games. Botoşani have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of Dinamo Bucureşti playing as the away team in the Liga 1 this season.
Dinamo Bucureşti's previous game was their home loss versus Chindia Targoviste (0-1). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Hermannstadt at their stadium, the result 2-0.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Dinamo Bucureşti in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Bucureşti, one draw and four defeats.
After this away game Dinamo Bucureşti return home for a Liga 1 game against Gaz Metan Mediaş. That game is only two sleeps after this.
Bucureşti have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 10 goals have been scored. 10 goals have been conceded by Bucureşti in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
