Sepsi form and stats

Sepsi have played three Liga 1 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The home fans are hungry for more even though Sepsi have been steadily collecting points here at Stadionul Municipal through three straight draws.

Sepsi drew their last game, 1-1 away at Academica Clinceni. Preceding that game was the home draw versus CFR Cluj that ended 1-1.

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 seven matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 3 Lost 2.
