Csikszereda form and stats

The story so far in the Liga 2 for Csikszereda at their home stadium (Stadionul Municipal) is 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The Csikszereda manager D. Suciu might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Csikszereda crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to U Craiova 1948 here at Stadionul Municipal in a Liga 2 match. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Mioveni the opponent.

Dunărea Călăraşi form and stats

Playing away, Dunărea Călăraşi have won 5 games, drawn 2 and suffered 4 defeats in the Liga 2 this season. Călăraşi has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Mioveni was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
