1-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 1 numbers at home for Sepsi so far this season. Sepsi are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Stadionul Municipal, having lost their two previous games here.

Sepsi are returning here after visiting Chindia Targoviste and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Gheorghe and Rondón scored the goal(s). Finally, a league victory after three games without. Manager Bergodi felt very clever after Gheorghe scored the winning goal against Chindia Targoviste, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 62nd minute.

Before that game, the home loss against Mioveni with the scoreline 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
