Chindia Târgovişte form and stats

5-4-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 1 numbers at home for Chindia Târgovişte, who have the fewest scored goals (24) in Liga 1, so far this season. Târgovişte has recorded two wins in a row here at Stadionul Gloria, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Mihai Marian Aioani not having conceded a league goal in 182 minutes.

Târgovişte are returning here after visiting Arges in a Liga 1 game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Daniel Florea scored the goal(s). Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Hermannstadt.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Chindia Târgovişte have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Târgovişte, as the Liga 1 home game vs Astra is only three days away.

The Chindia Târgovişte fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 15 matches. Chindia Târgovişte have conceded 18 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
