This stadium, Stadionul Central Academia Hagi, has been a fortress for Viitorul in the Liga 1 so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-1-0.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga 1 home defeat versus Gaz Metan Mediaş with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 1-2 defeat away at FCSB before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sepsi are hosting Universitatea Craiova in the Liga 1 only four days away.
