CSM Iaşi form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for CSM Iaşi's two home games in the Liga 2 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadionul Emil Alexandrescu.

The Iaşi goalkeeper Iulian-Laurentiu Popescu is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 182 minutes without conceding a goal in the Liga 2.

It's back home for Iaşi, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Hușana Huși away with the result 1-0.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting ASU Poli Timisoara.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Iaşi have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost three.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Gloria goalkeeper Relu Marian Stoian is eager to challenge this, with his 266 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

It's the second away game in a row for Gloria, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus Recolta Gheorghe Doja in the Romania Cup last time out. As mentioned above, Gloria was the only team on the pitch versus Recolta Gheorghe Doja in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
