Hermannstadt form and stats

As mentioned below, Hermannstadt are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Liga 2 games. It’s been three wins in a row for Hermannstadt here at Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

The home team returns to Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan after being equal after 90 minutes with Metaloglobus (placed 8th) on their last time out; the Liga 2 game ended 1-1.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting CSM Iasi in a game that was won 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hermannstadt have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.

At Stadionul Municipal Gaz Metan, Hermannstadt has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Csikszereda form and stats

It's not happening yet for Csikszereda on their Liga 2 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With the Csikszereda losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Csikszereda aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 405 league minutes without a goal. J. Bauza was the last player to find the net.

The manager D. Suciu was unhappy after their last game, a Liga 2 match played at their home ground Stadionul Municipal Sintetic (Miercurea Ciuc). Csikszereda suffered a 0-3 loss to Concordia Chiajna (placed 1st). Csikszereda did not look prepared in the first half against Concordia Chiajna and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Petrolul 52 wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Csikszereda have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, three draws and four defeats.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Csikszereda has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.
