Ripensia Timişoara form and stats

1 win, 0 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Ripensia Timişoara playing as the away team in the Liga 2 this season.

Timişoara play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-1 victory visiting Avântul Periam.

A draw for Timişoara before that, at their own venue hosting Brașov Steagul Renașt (1-1).

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 six games. Results were zero away wins, four draws and two home wins.

2 goals so far away for Ripensia Timişoara, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
