Botoşani form and stats

2 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Botoşani have to build on here at Stadionul Municipal in the Liga 1.

An away draw last time out for Botoşani, facing Chindia Targoviste in a game that ended 2-2.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Mioveni the opponent.

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 manager Teja will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Mioveni in only four days.

Botoşani are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games.

Voluntari form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Voluntari so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose). It's three draws from Voluntari's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

The attacking players of Voluntari have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 301 minutes.

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Petrolul 52 with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

A loss against Chindia Targoviste was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Voluntari playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 7 Voluntari wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

The attacking power of Voluntari when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Voluntari have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Botoşani have put together a streak of 8 consecutive matches without defeat (5-3-0) when playing Voluntari.

These competitors have played before this season: Voluntari - Botoşani 0-1.
