This could be an interesting match as Sporting Turnu have their presumed home advantage while Universitatea Cluj are ahead 1 point in the Liga 2 table.
Universitatea Cluj could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Romania Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Unirea Dej, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Universitatea Cluj.
Sporting Turnu form and stats
Only two Liga 2 home games for Sporting Turnu so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Turnu manager E. Lincar and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Mioveni (placed 9th) in the Liga 2. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Concordia Chiajna in a game that was won 3-2.
This is expected to be a close game, with Turnu perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sporting Turnu as a small favourite), we find three games. Sporting Turnu has won zero of these, drawn two and lost one.
Early season league goal statistics from Sporting Turnu's 2 home games: 5 goals, 4 conceded.
Universitatea Cluj form and stats
Universitatea Cluj are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Liga 2, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
Universitatea Cluj have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Vlad Ionut Mutiu. It's been 258 minutes since they last conceded in Liga 2.
Two travels in a row for Universitatea, whose manager A. Falub could celebrate last time after the Romania Cup win against Unirea Dej. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Pandurii Targu Jiu in the Liga 2.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Universitatea Cluj playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were zero Universitatea Cluj wins, two draws and three defeats.
After this away game Universitatea Cluj return home for a Liga 2 game against Concordia Chiajna. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Universitatea when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Universitatea Cluj as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
