With their 2 point advantage in the league table, UTA Arad fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Dinamo Bucureşti.
- UTA Arad has the fewest points (6) at home in Liga 1
- Dinamo Bucureşti have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Arad nor Dinamo Bucureşti as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Dinamo Bucureşti have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-0-0 (win-draw-loss) from one match.
UTA Arad form and stats
With {1 Liga 1 wins}, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, UTA Arad, who have the fewest points (6) at home in Liga 1, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
UTA Arad are returning here after visiting CSM Iasi in a Liga 1 game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Erico da Silva and Ciprian Rus scored the goal(s). Before that game, the home loss against Arges with the scoreline 1-2.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of L. Balint when Ciprian Rus scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Ciprian Rus scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Arad as they are travelling to their away game against Academica Clinceni in the Liga 1. That match is four days after this one.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Arad here at Stadionul Francisc von Neumann in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 9 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats
3 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. That’s the product of Dinamo Bucureşti playing as the away team in the Liga 1 this season.
Ante Puljić and Magaye Gueye scored in Bucureşti's previous match, the home game against Gaz Metan Medias that ended 2-1. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Botoşani's place.
A quick return to home after this game, as Dinamo Bucureşti are hosting FCSB in the Liga 1 only three days away.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Bucureşti have scored 10 goals in 9 league games away. Bucureşti's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips.
