Petrolul 52 form and stats

There's been little loot from Petrolul 52's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 13 away games in the Liga 1. Petrolul 52 only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 0 draws. Bitter travels for Petrolul as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Voluntari match.

Petrolul 52 failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs CFR Cluj (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 2-5. A stark raving crazy game with heaps of goals last time out for Petrolul 52, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that match, will this match be as gleeful?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against SSC Farul wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Universitatea Craiova in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Petrolul as they have only managed to score 9 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Petrolul 52 have conceded 22 goals in these games.
