CSM Slatina form and stats

2 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what CSM Slatina have to build on here at Stadionul 1 Mai in the Liga 2. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Slatina after consecutive victories at their own ground.

CSM Slatina travelled for their previous game, a trip to Petrolul 52 that ended 1-1. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at ASU Poli Timişoara.

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 Slatina have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won zero, drawn zero and lost one.

CSM Slatina are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. 5 goals have been conceded.

SCM Gloria Buzau form and stats

The visitors are W1-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Liga 2.

Home advantage was not enough for SCM Gloria Buzau in their previous game, as they lost their Liga 2-match, hosting Csikszereda, 0-1. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Dacia Unirea Braila at their stadium, the result 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Gloria in our archives, and the results are: two wins for SCM Gloria Buzau, two draws and zero defeats.

After this away game Gloria return home for a Liga 2 game against Şirineaşa. That game is only four sleeps after this.
