Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Timişoara with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Dunărea Călăraşi game, 26 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Timişoara manager D. Alexa might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
