Csikszereda hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 25 points and a 16th position in the Liga 2 table. Visiting SSC Farul holds 11th place with 33 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Csikszereda form and stats
The story so far in the Liga 2 for Csikszereda at their home stadium (Stadionul Municipal) is 4 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats. It's trouble wherever Csikszereda are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Csikszereda, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The Csikszereda crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Petrolul 52 here at Stadionul Municipal in a Liga 2 match. Prior to that, an away loss at Dunarea Calarasi.
This is expected to be a close game, with Csikszereda perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Csikszereda as a small favourite), we find four games. Csikszereda has won one of these, drawn three and lost zero.
The Csikszereda fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 12 matches. On the other hand, Csikszereda have conceded 15 goals.
SSC Farul form and stats
SSC Farul have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Liga 2, after 0-5-7 (12 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved SSC Farul have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Rapid Bucuresti game.
SSC Farul are looking to quickly end their 212 minutes long goal drought in the Liga 2.
SSC Farul might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Sporting Turnu proved too strong as SSC Farul slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadionul Farul. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Petrolul 52 that ended 0-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with SSC Farul playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two SSC Farul wins, zero draws and three defeats.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from SSC Farul's away games in the league this season with only 6 goals from 12 matches. SSC Farul have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
