Aerostar Bacău form and stats

Aerostar Bacău's first Liga 2 home game here at Stadionul Aerostar ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat from 8 matches.

Aerostar Bacău are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 204 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by A. Ciocâlteu).

Aerostar Bacău lost their last game at SSC Farul (placed 3rd) after a 0-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Universitatea Cluj (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Aerostar Bacău perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aerostar Bacău as a small favourite), we find two games. Aerostar Bacău has won two of these, drawn zero and lost zero.

Şcolar Reşiţa form and stats

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga 2 home defeat versus Petrolul 52 with 0-4 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Rapid Bucuresti.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Petrolul 52 was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Şcolar Reşiţa playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were one Şcolar win, zero draws and zero defeats.

Let's have a look at how Şcolar Reşiţa performed last season in the 3. Liga: Series 4: They landed a 17th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 6 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 30 and conceded 36 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 4 and lost 6 with 14/16 goals scored/conceded.
