SCM Gloria Buzau form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for SCM Gloria Buzau's two home games in the Liga 2 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadionul Gloria.

Gloria are confident in defense, having played 356 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

SCM Gloria Buzau enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at CSM Iasi's place. The match ended 1-0 with S. Ekollo scoring.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Recolta Gheorghe Doja and winning 5-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Gloria perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with SCM Gloria Buzau as a small favourite), we find two games. SCM Gloria Buzau has won one of these, drawn one and lost zero.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Gloria as they have a new game in only four days, a Romania Cup match thankfully also at home. Academica Clinceni are visiting.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the SCM Gloria Buzau at home in the league. 14 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

The supporters enjoyed Metaloglobus's previous game versus ASU Poli Timisoara (placed 12th), a Liga 2 4-1 win played at home.

A 0-1 defeat away at Tunari before that.
