The CSM Iaşi manager D. Pancu attacks this game with the team placed 7th so far. In the visitors dressing room FCSB and their manager A. Petrea are in 3rd place before this match.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
CSM Iaşi form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for CSM Iaşi's two home games in the Liga 1 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu.
A good away victory last time out for Iaşi, who won 3-2 against UTA Arad (placed 11th). Ahead of that match, CSM Iaşi lost 1-4 at home to Gaz Metan Mediaş.
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 Iaşi have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost three.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the CSM Iaşi at home in the league. 2 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
FCSB form and stats
FCSB, who have the most scored goals (10) in Liga 1, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Liga 1, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
FCSB had fun at their own home (Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu) last time out, beating Arges 3-0. Ahead of that match was the Europa League away draw versus Backa Topola (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) that ended 6-6.
We have checked recent matches where FCSB have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were one victory, zero draws and four defeats.
FCSB have the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: CSM Iaşi won three, FCSB won five and two draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, six matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
