Venue: Stadionul Municipal (10600 seats)

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 6th and Sepsi in 8th place.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga 1. That game, against CSM Iaşi, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sepsi.

Botoşani form and stats

Botoşani have collected 6 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 1-3-1.

Botoşani are returning here after visiting Hermannstadt in a Liga 1 game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. The points were shared before that, a Romania Cup home game that ended 2-2 versus CFR Cluj.

This is expected to be a close game, with Botoşani perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Botoşani as a small favourite), we find seven games. Botoşani has won 0 of these, drawn 4 and lost 3.

Botoşani have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadionul Municipal with 8 goals in 5 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.

Sepsi form and stats

As the visiting team in Liga 1 matches, Sepsi, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) in Liga 1, have produced an overall stat of 1-5-0 so far. One point away has become something of a habit for Sepsi who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Sepsi are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at CSM Iaşi (placed 5th). Before that one, a nice away victory 4-1 at Ripensia Timisoara.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Sepsi in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Sepsi, 4 draws and 0 defeats.
