Hermannstadt form and stats

Hermannstadt have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Liga 1, after 0-4-6 (10 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

The supporters enjoyed Hermannstadt's previous game versus Dinamo Bucuresti (placed 8th), a Liga 1 4-2 win played at home. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Academica Clinceni that ended 1-1.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Hermannstadt, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hermannstadt playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 1 Hermannstadt win, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hermannstadt as they have only managed to score 7 times from 10 away games in the league. Hermannstadt have conceded 21 goals in these games.
