A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Sepsi fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Hermannstadt's 11th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
