An important duel in the bottom section of the Liga 1, with both Dinamo Bucureşti and CSM Iaşi experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 14th place.
- Dinamo Bucureşti haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- CSM Iaşi has the most conceded goals (31) in Liga 1
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats
Dinamo Bucureşti's struggle is real here at Stadionul Ştefan cel Mare with only 6 points collected from 6 Liga 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Dinamo Bucureşti, as their goalkeeper Tomas Mejias Osorio has completely shut out the opponents for 223 minutes in the Liga 1.
A good away victory last time out for Bucureşti, who won 1-0 against Arges (placed 16th). Before that, Dinamo Bucureşti had a Romania Cup home game versus Viitorul which ended with a victory 3-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Bucureşti matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and two defeats (from five games).
The Bucureşti fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. Bucureşti are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadionul Ştefan cel Mare in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 6 matches.
CSM Iaşi form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Liga 1, on their Liga 1 travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 4 defeats. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on D. Pancu, the Iaşi manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Home advantage was not enough for Iaşi in their previous game, as they lost their Liga 1-match, hosting CFR Cluj, 0-2. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus CFR Cluj in the Romania Cup.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Iaşi when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning three games.
A quick return to home after this game, as CSM Iaşi are hosting Academica Clinceni in the Liga 1 only four days away.
The attacking power of Iaşi when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. The Iaşi defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 15 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Bucureşti won four games, two matches ended with a draw and CSM Iaşi has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / sevenTop Goalscorers
