Astra have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Liga 2, after 1-3-2 (6 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Astra as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Dunarea Calarasi match.
Astra might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hermannstadt proved too strong as Astra slumped to a 0-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadionul Marin Anastasovici. Astra lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.
