Hermannstadt form and stats
Only two Liga 1 home games for Hermannstadt so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Universitatea Craiova (0-1).This is expected to be a close game, with Hermannstadt perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Universitatea Cluj form and stats
Things could have gone better for Universitatea Cluj in their Liga 1 away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus CFR Cluj with 3-4 on the scoreboard. That loss was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points. A huge disappointment for Universitatea Cluj in their last match (vs CFR Cluj). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat.
Before that, Universitatea travelled to Otelul and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest.
