It's early days in the Liga 1 and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. This match was also played here at Stadionul Ion Oblemenco. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Sepsi have had more rest.

Sepsi form and stats

Things could have gone better for Sepsi in their away games, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. Sharing is caring, but Sepsi are perhaps overdoing it with their four draws in a row. Sepsi has drawn their two previous away games.

Sepsi delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Viitorul in their previous match; a Liga 1 game. A 1-1 draw at Gaz Metan Mediaş's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Sepsi playing away, we found four games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 1 home win.

It's early days yet, but Sepsi has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 6 Universitatea Craiova victories, 3 draws and 1 Sepsi win. 1 of these game ended with three goals or more, 9 matches with two goals or less.
