Concordia Chiajna form and stats

When playing at home in the Liga 2, Concordia Chiajna have managed 2 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Concordia, their manager F. Bratu and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Concordia fans got no joy from their last match, a Liga 2 game also here at Stadionul Concordia: A 1-2 defeat against SSC Farul (placed 6th). Ahead of that match, Concordia won a home game hosting Mioveni (1-0).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.

Ripensia Timişoara form and stats

Playing away, Ripensia Timişoara, who have the most conceded goals (14) away in Liga 2, have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 4 defeats in the Liga 2 this season.

Timişoara are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the Liga 2 against Sporting Turnu (placed 7th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Pandurii Târgu Jiu at their stadium, the result 2-1.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Sporting Turnu was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Timişoara playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and two home wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Ripensia Timişoara as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Ripensia Timişoara concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
