Hermannstadt form and stats

Hermannstadt have collected 17 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 4-5-6.

A strong away win for Hermannstadt against CSM Iaşi the last match, as Baba Alhassan were on target. Nobody expected Hermannstadt to beat CSM Iaşi in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of E. Beza when Baba Alhassan scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Dinamo Bucureşti.
