Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Metaloglobus in 8th and Luceafărul Oradea in 11th place.

It's no vacation for neither Metaloglobus nor Luceafărul Oradea as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Luceafărul Oradea have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-1-1 (win-draw-loss) from three matches.
