Baloteşti form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Baloteşti so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-11 (win-draw-lose). With the Baloteşti losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

A new game in only three days for Baloteşti, the Liga 2 home match versus Sportul Snagov. Busy days.
