17-12-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for UTA Arad when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 42 matches are 52-48 (scored/conceded).
Gaz Metan Mediaş form and stats
The overall Liga 1 results at home this season for Gaz Metan Mediaş are 1-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Mediaş to get some points in this home game.
P. Matricardi was the last player to score a league goal for Mediaş and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Gaz Metan Mediaş haven't scored in 246 minutes.
Mediaş lost their last game at Universitatea Craiova (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Nasser Chamed for missing a penalty kick versus Universitatea Craiova in the 79th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
Before that game, the home loss against Botosani with the scoreline 0-1.The Mediaş fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. On the other hand, Mediaş have conceded 3 goals.
UTA Arad form and stats
Things could have gone better for UTA Arad in their Liga 1 away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

David Miculescu and Roger scored in Arad's previous match, the home game against Voluntari that ended 2-0.
Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Universitatea Craiova.UTA Arad have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
