There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Liga 1 table so far. Here's the Chindia Târgovişte - UTA Arad latest:
- Chindia Târgovişte has the fewest scored goals (19) in Liga 1
- UTA Arad haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
16 - 12 - 15 with 56-52. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for UTA Arad when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. UTA Arad play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
Chindia Târgovişte form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Chindia Târgovişte, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in Liga 1, have to build on here at Stadionul Ilie Oană in the Liga 1. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Târgovişte to get some points in this home game. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Târgovişte, their manager E. Săndoi and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
It's back home for Târgovişte, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating SSC Farul away with the result 3-0. V. Berisha and P. Iacob found the net in that victory. Heartbreak before that as Târgovişte lost 0-1 at Gaz Metan Medias's place.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Târgovişte have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn three and lost three.
Târgovişte are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. 16 goals have been conceded.
UTA Arad form and stats
As the visiting team in Liga 1 matches, UTA Arad have produced an overall stat of 6-3-2 so far. Arad have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
There might be some fixture complaints from Arad as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Romania Cup match against Universitatea Cluj (1-2). A draw for UTA Arad before that, at their own venue hosting Hermannstadt (1-1).
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with UTA Arad playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Arad wins, four draws and one defeat.
The visiting UTA Arad have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 14 goals from 11 games. 12 goals have been conceded by Arad in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
