An important duel in the bottom section of the Liga 1, with both Dinamo Bucureşti and Astra experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 16th place.
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!
Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats
When playing at home in the Liga 1, Dinamo Bucureşti, who have the fewest points (2) at home in Liga 1, have managed 0 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games. It's trouble wherever Bucureşti are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Dinamo Bucureşti manager G. Mulţescu might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Bucureşti are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 228 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by A. Nemec).
The fans are hoping that Dinamo Bucureşti will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Liga 1 game against Sepsi (placed 3rd). Before that game, the home loss against Universitatea Craiova with the scoreline 0-1.
Dinamo Bucureşti have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Bucureşti have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Astra form and stats
No Liga 1 points yet away for Astra, from their first 3 matches. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on B. Andone, the Astra manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Astra had fun at their own home (Stadionul Ştefan cel Mare) last time out, beating CSM Iasi 4-0. Constantin Budescu, Risto Radunović, Sebastien Wüthrich and Valerică Găman scored. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Arges's place.
As you can tell from the results above, Astra was very dominant against CSM Iasi, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Constantin Budescu, Risto Radunović, Sebastien Wüthrich and Valerică Găman providing the goals. A heroic performance from Astra in their game against CSM Iasi last time out. Things got complicated when Valentin Gheorghe was sent off in the 52nd minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 4-0 victory!
Astra are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. The Astra manager B. Andone has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Dinamo Bucureşti victories, three draws and four Astra wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Dinamo Bucureşti missing players
