Botoşani form and stats

Botoşani have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Liga 1. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Botoşani have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Botoşani are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Petrolul 52.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Arges that ended 0-0.

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 8 games. Botoşani has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

The Botoşani fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches.
