With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Liga 2 game of the season. Csikszereda look forward to welcoming Astra in front of their home support.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Csikszereda form and stats
Last season, Csikszereda's league statistics were 9 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, resulting in a 5th position in the Liga 2. Over these 20 matches they scored 23 goals and conceded 15. Playing at home last season Csikszereda managed 5-2-3 (win-draw-lost) with 11 goals and 7 conceded.
The fans are hoping that Csikszereda will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Liga 2 game against CSA Steaua Bucuresti (placed 8th).
Before that, Csikszereda drew at home versus ASU Poli Timisoara.The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Csikszereda home games with this odds we find three games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in one win, two draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, zero matches were won by at least two goals.
Astra form and stats
Let's have a look at how Astra performed last season in the Liga 1: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 9 victories, 11 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 38 and conceded 39 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 5 and lost 5 with 20/21 goals scored/conceded. It's looking increasingly bleak for Astra who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Chindia Targoviste was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Home advantage was not enough for Astra in their previous game, as they lost their Liga 2-match, hosting Metaloglobus, 1-2.
A 2-3 loss hosting Universitatea Craiova (after extra-time) before that.We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Astra played away with similar odds. This revealed five games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected four times.
