Universitatea Cluj form and stats
Universitatea Cluj have been very solid at home in the Liga 2 so far, with 18 points collected from 6 matches (6-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 3rd position in the table. After failing to beat ASU Poli Timisoara here at Cluj Arena, Universitatea Cluj has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.
Universitatea are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Viitorul Selimbar. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Unirea Dej in a game that was won 3-1.Goals decide football matches and Universitatea are scoring many of them at home; 12 on target from 6 league matches. Universitatea have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Brașov Steagul Renașt form and stats
The visitors are W0-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Liga 2. With the Steagul losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Steagul's previous game was their home loss versus Hermannstadt (1-2). Steagul were so close to getting something from the game against Hermannstadt, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Concordia Chiajna wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Steagul as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. 7 goals have been conceded by Brașov Steagul Renașt in these games.
