Pandurii Târgu Jiu form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Pandurii Târgu Jiu, who have the most conceded goals (29) in Liga 2, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose).

Pandurii delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against CSM Slatina (placed 17th) in their previous match; a Liga 2 game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Şirineaşa wasn't a success with a 3-4 loss.

Pandurii Târgu Jiu have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 7 goals have been scored. The Pandurii manager C. Cojocaru has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
