The managers F. Bratu and L. Balint are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Liga 2 league table.

Sporting Turnu form and stats

6-0-0 is the performance here so far in the Liga 2, giving Sporting Turnu a total of 18 from their 6 games here. Outstanding results! In general it's been a long time since Sporting Turnu tasted defeat here, as they have taken at least one point from their last 19 home games.

Sporting Turnu lost their last game at Metaloglobus (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that, Sporting Turnu had a home game versus SCM Gloria Buzau which ended with a victory 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sporting 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 one game. Sporting Turnu has won 0 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sporting Turnu as they are travelling to their away game against Dunărea Călăraşi in the Liga 2. That match is three days after this one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (13 in 6 games), Sporting Turnu's attacking play is working. As for guarding their own goal, Sporting Turnu have only let in 2 goals at home.

UTA Arad form and stats

UTA Arad, who have the most scored goals (26) in Liga 2, have six points from their first three away games in the Liga 2, meaning two victories and a loss.

UTA Arad are travelling after their nice 6-0 home win in the Liga 2 against Juventus Bucureşti (placed 19th). A 1-3 loss hosting Dinamo Bucureşti before that.

It's hard not to mention V. Buhăcianu against Juventus Bucureşti. Scoring 3 goals, he surely made a significant contribution to the three points.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by UTA Arad in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for UTA Arad, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

A new game in only three days for UTA Arad, the Liga 2 home match versus ASU Poli Timişoara. Busy days.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 9 goals in 3 league games away this season. The prediction for this game is lots of goals as UTA Arad alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (9 from 3 played). As opposed to that, UTA Arad have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
