Sepsi form and stats
Sepsi have played 5 Liga 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-1 (wins-draws-losses). When Sepsi hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Voluntari, Dinamo Bucuresti, U Craiova 1948, UTA Arad and Sepsi), they have won 2 of 2 matches! It's trouble wherever Sepsi are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Ștefănescu 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 315 minutes.
The supporters are hoping that Sepsi will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against CSM Iaşi (placed 10th). The penalty miss from Matei in the defeat against CSM Iaşi was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
Heartbreak before that as Sepsi lost 0-1 at Universitatea Cluj's place.There will be little rest for Sepsi after this match as they are travelling to Voluntari for a Liga 1 game in only four days.
The Sepsi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. On the other hand, Sepsi have conceded 7 goals. Sepsi has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
