UTA Arad form and stats

The story so far in the Liga 1 for UTA Arad at their home stadium (Stadionul Motorul) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. With nine home Liga 1 games in a row without a win, the UTA Arad fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

The club members are hoping that Arad will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Chindia Targoviste (placed 9th).

Preceding that match was the home game against Mioveni that was lost 1-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how UTA Arad have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 3 and lost 5.

Take note that 15 of the latest 18 league games from this club have seen goals scored by both teams.
