We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
UTA Arad form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Liga 1 this season. UTA Arad, who have the fewest points (8) at home in Liga 1, have only managed 1 win, 5 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Stadionul Francisc von Neumann. With ten home Liga 1 games in a row without a win, the Arad fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Chindia Targoviste game long ago, can be stopped today. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on UTA Arad to get some points in this home game.
Arad are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 279 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by I. Hora).
