Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats

With {2 Liga 1 wins}, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Dinamo Bucureşti are certainly not brimming with confidence. Dinamo Bucureşti are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadionul Ştefan cel Mare, having lost their two previous games here.

A. Nemec was the last player to score a league goal for Dinamo Bucureşti and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Dinamo Bucureşti haven't scored in 236 minutes.

Bucureşti are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Botoşani. Before that game, the home loss against Chindia Targoviste with the scoreline 0-1.

As you see from the result above, Dinamo Bucureşti suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bucureşti have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost two.

The manager I. Gane will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to UTA Arad in only four days.

The Bucureşti fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. 9 goals have been conceded.

A new game in only three days for Gaz Metan Mediaş, the Liga 1 home match versus Academica Clinceni. Busy days.
