Liga 1 match preview and statistics: Voluntari fight Botosani

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Romania Cup. That game was also an away game, at Academica Clinceni. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

With {0 Liga 1 wins}, 2 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Voluntari, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in Liga 1, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
