Insights:
  • Voluntari have the most dropped points from leading position (12) in Liga 1

Voluntari form and stats

Voluntari have collected 7 points from their Liga 1 home games so far after 2-1-3. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Voluntari.

Voluntari are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 334 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Nemec). Voluntari are confident in defense, having played 317 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Voluntari drew their last game, 0-0 away at FCSB (placed 1st). It's strange, but the exact score line 0-0 has been on "repeat" three times in a row.

Sepsi form and stats

There's been little loot from Sepsi's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Liga 1. Sepsi only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Sepsi as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Dinamo Bucuresti match.

Sepsi are travelling after their nice 5-2 home win in the fixture against Botosani (placed 16th). Eureka; their first three points in the league after six rounds not winning. As you can tell from the result, the match against Botosani was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

Prior to that match, the Sepsi manager Ciobotariu faced defeat when travelling to CSM Iasi and losing 0-1.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sepsi manager Ciobotariu as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Corvinul Hunedoara.

The attacking power of Sepsi when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Sepsi have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Sepsi have won or drawn the last 4 matches (2-2-0) against Voluntari.
