CFR Cluj form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu as CFR Cluj have scored 29 goals to get 33 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Liga 1 are 11-0-4 (wins-draws-losses). With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for CFR Cluj.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for CFR Cluj, who played 1-1 against FCSB. That match was also played at this venue (Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu).
A home victory ahead of that match, as anticipated. The team were big favourites against Arges and won 1-0. The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Cluj home games with this odds we find 12 games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 11 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. Looking at the victories, 4 matches were won by at least two goals.
A decent goal production from CFR Cluj in their home games so far, with 29 goals from 15 league matches. CFR Cluj have only conceded 12 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Sepsi form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga 1 travels is 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Bergodi, the Sepsi manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Sepsi won their last game, 2-0 versus Rapid Bucuresti played at home. That victory felt nice as this team had gone five league fixtures without victory.
A home win as predicted against Mioveni ahead of that, in the Romania Cup.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sepsi have scored 20 goals in 15 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 17 goals have been conceded by Sepsi in these games.
Head 2 Head
Sepsi - CFR Cluj 2-2 was the output when this pair of teams formerly met, also in this season. Head to head statistics (for the preceeding ten meetings): Cluj won six games, two matches ended with a draw and Sepsi have two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven.
