There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Timişoara as they are travelling to their away game against CSM Slatina in the Liga 2. That match is four days after this one.

Comuna Recea form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Comuna Recea so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-5 (win-draw-lose).
274 minutes! That's how long the Comuna goalkeeper Dorian Railean and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Impressive finishing from M. Coman (2), G. Oiţă and A. Mărieș secured the home win 5-0 against Pandurii Târgu Jiu in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 0-0 draw paying a visit to Ripensia Timişoara.
As mentioned above, Comuna was the only team on the pitch versus Pandurii Târgu Jiu in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
After this away game Comuna return home for a Liga 2 game against Metaloglobus. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Comuna as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. Comuna's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
