There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Liga 2 table so far. Here's the Sporting Turnu - Şcolar Reşiţa latest:
The hosts Turnu saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Romania Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at CSM Slatina.
Sporting Turnu form and stats
When playing at home in the Liga 2, Sporting Turnu have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 3 games.
The home team returns to Stadionul Municipal after being equal after 90 minutes with CSM Slatina (after extra-time) (placed 17th) on their last time out; the Romania Cup game ended 0-0. Before that match, a Liga 2 win away at SSC Farul.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Turnu matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and zero defeats (from three games).
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Sporting Turnu's attacking play is working. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Sporting Turnu having conceded 8 goals here at Stadionul Municipal so far.
Şcolar Reşiţa form and stats
The seven points Şcolar Reşiţa have gathered from their first three away trips in the Liga 2 is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga 2 home defeat versus Pandurii Târgu Jiu with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Before that, Şcolar travelled to Metaloglobus and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
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 Şcolar Reşiţa playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and two home wins.
The attacking power of Şcolar when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Şcolar are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 0 goals away.
