SSC Farul form and stats

SSC Farul have been outstanding at home so far in the Liga 1 with 12 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss. SSC Farul has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadionul Central. We remember; it was CFR Cluj.

The home team returns to Stadionul Central after drawing with Universitatea Craiova on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. A painful moment in the game against Universitatea Craiova was the missed penalty kick from Alibec in the 11th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Before that game, the 7-2 home victory against Rapid Bucuresti.

Observe: 8 of the most recent 10 league games from these players have had at least one goal from each side.
