This match features two squads living in the lower section of the Liga 1, UTA Arad having 14th place and Voluntari lying 13th. A nice chance for one of the contenders to upgrade their situation.
- UTA Arad have the fewest scored goals in the second half (3) in Liga 1
- Voluntari have the most conceded goals (23) in Liga 1
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Arad and Voluntari.
UTA Arad form and stats
UTA Arad have collected 6 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 2-0-2. When UTA Arad hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Dinamo Bucuresti, CSM Iasi, Universitatea Cluj, UTA Arad and Botosani), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
UTA Arad are returning here after visiting SCM Gloria Buzau in a Romania Cup match and winning with a 2-1 scoreline.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Botosani that finished 2-2.This is expected to be a close game, with UTA Arad perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with UTA Arad as a small favourite), we find 10 games. UTA Arad has won 5 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.
On the other hand, Arad have conceded 5 goals. UTA Arad has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
Voluntari form and stats
The visitors are W1-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Liga 1. It's a growing despair in Voluntari as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The followers enjoyed Voluntari's previous match versus SSC Farul, a Romania Cup win (2-0) played at home.
A loss against CSM Iasi was the result prior to that, in a Liga 1 home game.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Voluntari in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Voluntari, 5 draws and 3 defeats.
Take note that 9 of this side's 10 most recent league matches have ended with three or more goals.
Voluntari find the net regularly in their away games. 7 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. The Voluntari manager Dună has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
