Here's another interesting match in the Liga 1. Hermannstadt is in the 6th place after playing two fixtures. They greet UTA Arad who are placed 12th after two fixtures.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting UTA Arad have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-16-15 (win-draw-loss) from 38 matches.
Hermannstadt and UTA Arad 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.
