Season ticket holders at Stadionul Ilie Oana haven't seen too many victories this season, with Chindia Targoviste languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting CSM Iasi will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Chindia Târgovişte and CSM Iaşi.
Chindia Târgovişte form and stats
With {2 Liga 1 wins}, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Chindia Târgovişte, who have the most conceded goals (37) in Liga 1, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Chindia Târgovişte to get some points in this home game.
Chindia Târgovişte lost their last game at Dinamo Bucureşti (placed 7th) after a 1-4 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Chindia Târgovişte lost 2-5 at home to Academica Clinceni.

CSM Iaşi form and stats
There's been little loot from CSM Iaşi's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Liga 1. CSM Iaşi only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on M. Teja, the CSM Iaşi manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga 1 home defeat versus FCSB with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Dinamo Bucureşti wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
