Comuna Recea form and stats

The visitors are W1-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Liga 2. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Comuna have lost on their last two travels.

Comuna are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Liga 2 against Pandurii Târgu Jiu (placed 21st). A 0-2 defeat away at Metaloglobus before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Comuna playing away, we found two games. Results were two away wins, zero draws and zero home wins.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Comuna have conceded 11 goals in these games.
