Sepsi form and stats

Three Liga 1 home games done for Sepsi, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sepsi, their manager L. Grozavu and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

An away draw last time out for Sepsi, facing FCSB in a game that ended 1-1. A painful moment in the game against FCSB was the missed penalty kick from Bogdan Mitrea in the 66th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Before that game, the home loss against Arges with the scoreline 0-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sepsi have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost three.

Sepsi has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. On the other hand, Sepsi have conceded 4 goals.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga 1 home defeat versus Rapid Bucuresti with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Gaz Metan Medias at their stadium, the result 1-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Botoşani playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Botoşani wins, four draws and one defeat.

Botoşani have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. The Botoşani defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
