Pandurii Târgu Jiu form and stats

There have been more unhappy faces than points at this arena so far this season, with Pandurii Târgu Jiu yet to win or draw a Liga 2 game here. The sad story at Stadionul Municipal Tudor Vladimirescu is: Pandurii Târgu Jiu played 5 games, lost 5 games. It's been an uphill battle for Pandurii in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Sporting Turnu game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

Pandurii lost their last game at Sirineasa (placed 6th) after a 3-4 scoreline. Before that, Pandurii played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Csikszereda.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Heartbreak for Pandurii in their last match as Sirineasa's D. Buia scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

There will be little rest for Pandurii Târgu Jiu after this match as they are travelling to Comuna Recea for a Liga 2 game in only four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Pandurii here at Stadionul Municipal Tudor Vladimirescu in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 5 games). Pandurii Târgu Jiu have conceded 12 goals in these home games, a significant number.
