Gaz Metan Mediaş form and stats

Two home games so far for Gaz Metan Mediaş, who are yet to win here at Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan, having collected only 2 points so far. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Sepsi in the Liga 1 last time out and are looking for a win here. In the game before, an away victory match versus Hermannstadt with a 2-0 scoreline.

Sepsi form and stats

Things could have gone better for Sepsi in their away games, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. With three draws in a row for Sepsi the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment. Sepsi has drawn their two previous away games.

Sepsi has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Gaz Metan Mediaş for a Liga 1 game that ended a draw (1-1). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting FCSB.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sepsi when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 2 and winning 1 game.

It's early days yet, but Sepsi has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Gaz Metan Mediaş - Sepsi 1-1. Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Gaz Metan Mediaş, 3 draws and 2 wins for Sepsi. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.
