Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Stadionul Municipal (7782 seats)

Season ticket holders at Stadionul Municipal haven’t celebrated many victories this season, with Botoşani decaying in the 15th place. The visiting Hermannstadt will attempt to defend their higher league place in this one.

Insights:
  • Botoşani have the fewest scored goals in the first half (1) in Liga 1
  • Hermannstadt have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their matches.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Romania Cup game only four days ago. That game, against Unirea Slobozia, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Hermannstadt.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting CFR Cluj (1-3).

Botoşani have scored {1 goals} here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Botoşani have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Hermannstadt form and stats

Things could have gone better for Hermannstadt in their Liga 1 away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Two travels in a row for Hermannstadt, whose coach Măldărăşanu could celebrate last time after the Romania Cup win against Unirea Slobozia.

A draw for Hermannstadt before that, at their own venue hosting Universitatea Cluj (2-2).

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hermannstadt have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away.

Head 2 Head

Botoşani have not lost in the last 4 matches (1-3-0) versus Hermannstadt.
