Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats

The story so far in the Liga 1 for Dinamo Bucureşti, who have the most conceded goals (33) in Liga 1, at their home stadium (Stadionul Ştefan cel Mare) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. All in all it has been a very rough period for Bucureşti who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Academica Clinceni, 96 days ago.

In their previous game, the manager M. Rednic led his Bucureşti to a defeat in the Liga 1 match away at Sepsi. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadionul Ştefan cel Mare.

Preceding that match was the home Romania Cup game against Arges that was lost 1-2.

The Bucureşti fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Dinamo Bucureşti defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

CFR Cluj form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 4 wins, 0 draws and only 2 losses in the Liga 1.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Cluj goalkeeper Cristian Emanuel Balgradean is eager to challenge this, with his 215 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Cluj, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus AZ.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Voluntari.

The attacking power of CFR Cluj when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Cluj are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
