The Sepsi & Academica Clinceni managers L. Grozavu and I. Poenaru are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga 1 league table.
- Sepsi have the most points from losing position (13) in Liga 1
- Academica Clinceni have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Academica Clinceni could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga 1 game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Botoşani, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Academica Clinceni.
Sepsi form and stats
Overall Liga 1 stats at home this season for Sepsi are 4-8-3 (wins-draw-losses). Sepsi are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadionul Municipal with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Astra match.
P. Safranko was the last player to score a league goal for Sepsi and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Sepsi haven't scored in 214 minutes.
The Sepsi fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga 1 game also here at Stadionul Municipal: A 0-1 defeat against CFR Cluj. Preceding that game was the away draw at Universitatea Craiova that finished 0-0.

Academica Clinceni form and stats
4 wins, 9 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Academica Clinceni playing as the away team in the Liga 1 this season. Recent form does not give Academica much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Sepsi will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Academica are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus FCSB.
Academica are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, two draws and two defeats. From a total of seven matches.
After this away game Academica return home for a Liga 1 game against Universitatea Craiova. That game is only four sleeps after this.
