Şirineaşa form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Liga 2, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 11 matches.

Şirineaşa go into this game after a win, the home game against Unirea Slobozia that ended 3-1. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Viitorul Daesti (after extra-time) at their stadium, the result 2-1.

Şirineaşa are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and zero defeats. From a total of three matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Şirineaşa manager F. Stoican as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Metaloglobus.

It's early days yet, but Şirineaşa has scored 4 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
