CSM Iaşi form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Liga 1 this season. CSM Iaşi, who have the most conceded goals (64) in Liga 1, have only managed 3 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses from their games here at Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu.

A good away victory last time out for Iaşi, who won 2-1 against Viitorul (placed 11th). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Academica Clinceni.

The victory against Viitorul came after Andreas Calcan's winning goal. The Iaşi manager N. Napoli was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 12th minute.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for CSM Iaşi here at Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (13 from 14 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 27 goals have been conceded.

Hermannstadt form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hermannstadt, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Liga 1, so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 1-6-7 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Hermannstadt have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Chindia Targoviste game.

Impressive finishing from Aias Aosman, Yazalde (2) and Alexandru Mățel secured the home win 4-1 against Arges in their previous game. A 0-1 defeat away at Voluntari before that.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hermannstadt as they have only managed to score 11 times from 14 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Hermannstadt have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.
