Petrolul 52 form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga 1, Petrolul 52 have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 12 games. Petrolul 52 has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Constantin and the players.

No payout for Petrolul in their previous match, an away game at Botoşani that ended in defeat 0-5. As you see from the result above, Petrolul 52 suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Chindia Târgovişte that was lost 1-2.

The manager Constantin will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to SSC Farul in only four days.
