There might be some fixture complaints from ASU Poli Timişoara as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Liga 2 match against Universitatea Cluj (0-3). Timişoara did not look prepared in the first half against Universitatea Cluj and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.
Before that, ASU Poli Timişoara travelled to Csikszereda and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting SCM Gloria Buzau in just three days.
