Voluntari form and stats

There's been little loot from Voluntari's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Liga 1. Voluntari only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Voluntari are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Voluntari failed to get anything from their last game, a Liga 1 home match vs Chindia Târgovişte (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 0-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hermannstadt wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Voluntari have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were two victories, two draws and two defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Voluntari have scored 7 goals in 6 league games away. The Voluntari manager M. Teja has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Botoşani won six, Voluntari won two and two draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.
