The Sporting Turnu & Mioveni managers E. Lincar and C. Niculescu are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga 2 league table.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Liga 2. That game was also an away game, at Argeş. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
