4-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 1 numbers at home for Sepsi so far this season. There’s a good atmosphere here at Stadionul Municipal after three straight home wins.
The home team returns to Stadionul Municipal after being equal after 90 minutes with Hermannstadt (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Liga 1 game ended 2-2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Chindia Targoviste in a game that was won 3-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

CSM Iaşi form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for CSM Iaşi so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-7 (win-draw-lose). With the CSM Iaşi losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. It's all red in the travel logs of CSM Iaşi, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga 1 home defeat versus Viitorul with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hermannstadt wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
