This could be an interesting match as Gaz Metan Mediaş have their presumed home advantage while FCSB are ahead 1 point in the Liga 1 table.
The visiting FCSB played their last game only three days ago, a Romania Cup match. That game, against Sepsi, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for FCSB.
Gaz Metan Mediaş form and stats
Gaz Metan Mediaş are steadily winning Liga 1 games and points here at Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan. 7 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 13 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mediaş with their four defeats in a row. Not since the FCSB game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Three consecutive losses here at Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Stress levels are on the rise for Mediaş's attacking players as they have now played 248 minutes without scoring in a league game. R. Romeo was their last goal scorer.
The Mediaş fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga 1 game also here at Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan: A 0-4 defeat against Astra. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at CFR Cluj.
As you see from the result above, Mediaş suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
The Gaz Metan Mediaş fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 13 matches. Mediaş have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
FCSB form and stats
Playing away, FCSB, who have the most points (25) away in Liga 1, have won 8 games, drawn 1 and suffered 4 defeats in the Liga 1 this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in FCSB's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Two travels in a row for FCSB, whose manager A. Petrea could celebrate last time after the Romania Cup win against Sepsi. It was a Liga 1 defeat before that one as the away game against Universitatea Craiova wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
FCSB has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 20 goals from 13 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (12 so far).
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was FCSB - Mediaş 2-2, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Mediaş won two games, two matches ended with a draw and FCSB has six wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / threeTop Goalscorers
