The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. SSC Farul are in the 9th position while the guesting Şcolar Reşiţa worry at 16th.

SSC Farul form and stats

1-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Liga 2 numbers at home for SSC Farul so far this season.

Farul faced defeat in their previous match, away at Rapid Bucuresti (1-2). In the match before that, Farul hosted Mioveni and drew the game 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Farul have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Farul as they are travelling to their away game against Ripensia Timisoara in the Liga 2. That match is four days after this one.

SSC Farul are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. SSC Farul's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Şcolar Reşiţa form and stats

2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Şcolar Reşiţa, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Liga 2, playing as the away team in the Liga 2 this season. Şcolar has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Şcolar are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Liga 2 against Universitatea Cluj (placed 7th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Concordia Chiajna.

We have checked recent matches where Şcolar have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those three games were one victory, one draw and one defeat.

The schedule is very tough for Şcolar Reşiţa now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga 2 game at Rapid Bucuresti is waiting in only four days.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Şcolar Reşiţa have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.
