Hermannstadt form and stats

Hermannstadt have collected 21 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 6-3-6.

Hermannstadt drew their last game, 1-1 away at Voluntari.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against U Craiova 1948.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hermannstadt perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hermannstadt as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Hermannstadt has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

It should be considered that a peek at the 13 latest league matches reveals that 10 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Hermannstadt as they have a new game in only three days, a Romania Cup match thankfully also at home. Universitatea Cluj are visiting.

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 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Hermannstadt have conceded only 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. Hermannstadt has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Botoşani form and stats

There's been little loot from Botoşani's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 15 away games in the Liga 1. Botoşani only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Botoşani's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Botoşani go into this game after a win, the home game against Chindia Targoviste that ended 1-0. Eureka; their first win in the league after six matches not winning.
