Let's get ready for UTA Arad - Mioveni! Never mind the highs and lows so far, this match should be awesome!

Insights:
  • UTA Arad have the most matches under the total-line (13) in Liga 1
  • Mioveni have the fewest scored goals (18) in Liga 1

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Mioveni 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 0-1-0 (win-draw-loss) from one match.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
