The season is still fairly new and the Liga 1 table has to be read with caution. So far CFR Cluj find themselves in 1st position and Hermannstadt are placed 8th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
CFR Cluj form and stats
A Liga 1 draw at home so far for CFR Cluj. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat from 5 matches.
CFR Cluj drew their last game, also a home match. Sepsi (placed 13th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Champions League home game that ended 2-2 versus Dinamo Zagreb (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties).
A painful moment in the game against Sepsi was the missed penalty kick from Ciprian Deac in the 56th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
CFR Cluj has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Hermannstadt form and stats
One match played away so far in the Liga 1 for Hermannstadt and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss from 6 games.
There were no winners in Hermannstadt's previous match, a Liga 1 home game that ended 2-2 vs Academica Clinceni (placed 11th). Before that, Hermannstadt travelled to Dinamo Bucureşti and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
As mentioned above, Hermannstadt drew the match against Academica Clinceni. Manager R. Albés Yáñez brought on Fabio Fortes to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
1 goal so far away for Hermannstadt, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
