ASU Poli Timişoara form and stats

The overall Liga 2 stats playing at home this season for ASU Poli Timişoara are 1-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). ASU Poli Timişoara has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager N. Croitoru and the players.

In their previous game, the manager N. Croitoru led his Timişoara to a defeat in the Liga 2 match away at Unirea Dej. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu.

Previous to that game, a Romania Cup home match hosting Rapid Bucuresti in a game that was won 2-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Timişoara have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn three and lost three.

Viitorul Şelimbăr form and stats

As the visiting team in Liga 2 matches, Viitorul Şelimbăr have produced an overall stat of 0-1-4 so far. Viitorul Şelimbăr has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Viitorul had fun at their own home (Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu) last time out, beating Universitatea Cluj 4-2. I. Cărăruș, D. Tătar, M. Biatoumoussoka and A. Ciocâlteu scored. An off the wall match with masses of goals last time out for Viitorul, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fixture, will this match be as refreshing?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Hermannstadt wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Viitorul Şelimbăr playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were zero Viitorul wins, two draws and one defeat.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Viitorul's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 5 matches. For Viitorul, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
