CSM Iaşi form and stats

There's been little loot from CSM Iaşi's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 12 away games in the Liga 1. CSM Iaşi, who have the most conceded goals (57) in Liga 1, only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Iaşi, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Hermannstadt game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

CSM Iaşi lost away at Arges (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Voluntari.

The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for CSM Iaşi we find one game. Results are zero CSM Iaşi wins, zero draws and one defeat.

Iaşi are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 12 games (in the league). The opposition has been scoring high and low on Iaşi's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 30 goals in 12 travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; CSM Iaşi - Cluj 0-2. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - two - two (Cluj wins - draws - CSM Iaşi wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.
