A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Sepsi fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Astra's 12th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- Sepsi has the most points from losing position (10) in Liga 1
- Astra has the fewest points from losing position (0) in Liga 1
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
