Hermannstadt form and stats

6 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Hermannstadt have to build on here at Stadionul Municipal in the Liga 1.

Happy days for Hermannstadt in their previous game, a fixture away at Mioveni that ended with a 2-0 victory.

In the game before, an away victory match versus Chindia Targoviste with a 2-1 scoreline.

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this club's last 14 league matches, 12 have seen two goals or less.

The Hermannstadt fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Hermannstadt have conceded only 14 goals. Hermannstadt has at home met teams with this table position (low), five times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.

Argeş form and stats

Argeş have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Liga 1, after 2-5-8 (15 played). Argeş seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Argeş go into this game after a win, the home game against Chindia Targoviste that ended 1-0. That win was so needed for this club, after a painful sequence of 17 league rounds in a row not winning.

Prior to that match, the Argeş manager Vintilă faced defeat when travelling to Botosani and losing 0-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Argeş playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 2 home wins.

A tale of few goals? 11 of this side's last 13 league rounds have had two or less goals.

The attacking power of Argeş when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Argeş have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Hermannstadt have put together a streak of 7 consecutive games without defeat (4-3-0) when playing Argeş.

Hermannstadt - Argeş 1-1 was the story when these two contenders formerly played each other, earlier this season.
