Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Sepsi in 6th and Viitorul in 5th place.
Sepsi and Viitorul should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Sepsi form and stats
Sepsi have collected 20 points from their home games so far after 6-2-5. It's trouble wherever Sepsi are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Sepsi manager E. Neagoe might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.The Sepsi crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Universitatea Craiova here in a Liga 1 match. Prior to that, an away loss at CFR Cluj.
The Sepsi fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. Sepsi have only conceded 12 in these games.
Viitorul form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their travels is 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Viitorul are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga 1 home defeat versus CFR Cluj with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at FCSB.
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 13 away games, an average of less than one per game. 16 goals have been conceded by Viitorul in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Sepsi - Viitorul 0-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last seven meetings): Sepsi won 2 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Viitorul has 2 wins.Top Goalscorers
