CSM Iaşi form and stats

Overall Liga 1 stats at home this season for CSM Iaşi, who have the most clean sheets (4) at home in Liga 1, are 3-2-0 (wins-draw-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for CSM Iaşi.

Happy days for CSM Iaşi in their previous game, a Romania Cup match away at Rapid Bucuresti that ended with a 1-0 victory. Prior to that, an away loss at Viitorul in the Liga 1.

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 CSM Iaşi have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won 3 Drawn 2 Lost 4.

The manager M. Teja will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Universitatea Craiova in only four days.

The CSM Iaşi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. CSM Iaşi have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.

Sepsi form and stats

1 win, 4 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Sepsi, who have the fewest conceded goals (6) in Liga 1, playing as the away team in the Liga 1 this season. Visiting Sepsi has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Sepsi play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-1 victory visiting Ripensia Timisoara. A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Hermannstadt.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sepsi playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were 2 Sepsi wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sepsi manager C. László as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Botoşani.

The attacking power of Sepsi when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Sepsi are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 2 away goals have been conceded so far.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last four meetings): CSM Iaşi won 0 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Sepsi has 3 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 2 / 2
