Voluntari form and stats

4-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 1 numbers at home for Voluntari so far this season. After failing to beat Botosani here at Stadionul Anghel Iordanescu, Voluntari has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

The Voluntari goalkeeper Mihai Maximilian Popa is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 197 minutes without conceding a goal in the Liga 1.

Happy days for Voluntari in their previous game, a Liga 1 match away at Rapid Bucuresti (placed 6th) that ended with a 1-0 victory.

In the preceding match a 4-1 victory visiting Şomuz Fălticeni.

A decent goal production from Voluntari in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches. Voluntari have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

SSC Farul form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Liga 1 travels is 0 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Farul won their last game, 2-1 versus Mioveni played at home. Andrei Ciobanu came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Mioveni last time out, making the manager G. Hagi feel like a tactical genius. Late drama in the previous game, when Andrei Ciobanu scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Mioveni.

The game before that, in the Romania Cup, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Sepsi.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from SSC Farul's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 5 matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
