The managers I. Badea and L. Balint are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga 2 league table.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This pitch has grass, which is not UTA Arad's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass UTA Arad have performed like this: Played 40 matches resulting in 11 wins, 11 draws and 18 defeats with the goal stats 52-61 (scored/conceded).

Argeş form and stats

16 points is a decent return from 8 Liga 2 games here at Stadionul Nicolae Dobrin for Argeş. The data says 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Two home wins in a row for Argeş bring valid hopes of a third.

The Argeş supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Şcolar Reşiţa in Liga 2 and win 3-2. Preceding that game was the away draw at Metaloglobus that finished 0-0.

An impressive turnaround for Argeş in the match against Şcolar Reşiţa as a 0-2 deficit was completely turned around to a 3-2 win. G. Turda scored the final goal.

This is expected to be a close game, with Argeş perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Argeş as a small favourite), we find one game. Argeş has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 0.

There will be little rest for Argeş after this match as they are travelling to Dunarea Calarasi for a Liga 2 game in only four days.

A decent goal production from Argeş in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 8 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
