Sepsi form and stats

4-5-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Sepsi in their Liga 1 matches away. It's three draws from Sepsi's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better. Sepsi have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

Sepsi's last game was the home draw against CSM Iasi (3-3). Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Voluntari.

Drawing 3-3 against CSM Iasi after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager L. Grozavu needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against CSM Iasi was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

The schedule is very tough for Sepsi now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga 1 game at Arges is waiting in only three days.

Sepsi are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 17 times in 10 away games so far. 11 goals have been conceded by Sepsi in these games.

Head 2 Head

Dinamo Bucureşti and Sepsi have met before this season: Sepsi - Bucureşti 2-0. Last ten meetings between the teams: Bucureşti won four, Sepsi won four and two draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.
