Season ticket holders at Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu haven’t seen too many victories this season, with CSM Iaşi languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Viitorul will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
CSM Iaşi form and stats
CSM Iaşi, who have the most conceded goals (21) in Liga 1, have played 4 Liga 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on CSM Iaşi to get some points in this home game.
No payout for CSM Iaşi in their previous match, an away game at Astra that ended in defeat 0-4. Preceding that match was the home game against Sepsi that was lost 1-4.
As you see from the result above, Iaşi suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The Iaşi manager D. Pancu has got the team scoring with 8 from 4 home games in the league. As for conceded goals, Iaşi's unpleasant statistic is 10 goals surrendered.
Viitorul form and stats
Things could have gone better for Viitorul in their Liga 1 away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Viitorul's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Arges that finished 2-2. Prior to that result Viitorul won their away game at Voluntari. The scoreline was 2-0.
Viitorul's last match (vs Arges) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Andrei Ciobanu.
Viitorul have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. Viitorul have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
