It's the second chance for points this season as Hermannstadt and Academica Clinceni battle it out at Stadionul Municipal.
Hermannstadt and Academica Clinceni should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Hermannstadt form and stats
Hermannstadt travelled for their previous game, a trip to Dinamo Bucureşti that ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus CSM Iasi.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
