Petre was the last player to score for the away team. SSC Farul haven't scored a league goal in the last 208 minutes.

SSC Farul might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. FCSB proved too strong as SSC Farul slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadionul Farul. Farul lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Universitatea Craiova.
