An important duel in the bottom section of the Liga 1, with both Viitorul and Dinamo Bucureşti experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 13th and the visitors in 14th place.
- Viitorul have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Dinamo Bucureşti is in the worst form (0-1-5)
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Viitorul form and stats
The story so far in the Liga 1 for Viitorul at their home stadium (Stadionul Central) is 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats.
The fans are hoping that Viitorul will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Liga 1 game against Voluntari. Ahead of that match, Viitorul won a home game hosting Gaz Metan Medias (1-0).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Viitorul have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost two.
The Viitorul fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 15 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Viitorul defense is not exactly impregnable. 24 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Dinamo Bucureşti form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dinamo Bucureşti so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-9 (win-draw-lose). Bucureşti are desperate to end a 13-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the UTA Arad fixture.
Bucureşti are travelling again after losing away to Gaz Metan Medias in their previous match (1-4). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus UTA Arad.
Bucureşti are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and six defeats. From a total of six matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bucureşti as they have only managed to score 12 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 20 goals have been conceded by Bucureşti in these games.
