We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Gaz Metan Mediaş form and stats
Gaz Metan Mediaş have collected 10 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 3-1-4. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Mediaş after consecutive victories at their own ground.
An away draw last time out for Gaz Metan Mediaş, facing Arges in a game that ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Mediaş won a home game hosting Voluntari (2-0).
There will be little rest for Gaz Metan Mediaş after this match as they are travelling to Dinamo Bucureşti for a Liga 1 game in only two days.
The Mediaş fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
CSM Iaşi form and stats
There's been little loot from CSM Iaşi's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Liga 1. CSM Iaşi, who have the most conceded goals (37) in Liga 1, only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.
Iaşi failed to get anything from their last game, a Liga 1 home match vs Botoşani (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Before that, CSM Iaşi travelled to Chindia Targoviste and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
A quick return to home after this game, as Iaşi are hosting UTA Arad in the Liga 1 only two days away.
The attacking power of CSM Iaşi when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Iaşi are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 6 goals in these matches.
