Academica Clinceni form and stats

There's been little loot from Academica Clinceni's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 13 away games in the Liga 1. Academica Clinceni only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. Academica Clinceni are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 10 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The Voluntari game.)

Academica's previous game was their home loss versus Universitatea Craiova (1-3).

A loss against SSC Farul was the result prior to that, in a home game.

With the hosts given a victory chance of approximately 80% by the bookies, any favourable result for the visiting team would be unexpected. Inspecting earlier matches with similar odds and Academica Clinceni as the away side, we found six results. Statistics from these were zero away wins, two draws and four defeats. The visitors lost four of these games by a margin of at least two goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Academica Clinceni are hosting Gaz Metan Medias in the Liga 1 only three days away.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Academica Clinceni, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
