Universitatea Cluj form and stats
6 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Universitatea Cluj have to build on here at Cluj Arena in the Liga 2.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Metaloglobus in a game that was won 2-0.
Universitatea has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. On the other hand, Universitatea Cluj have conceded 10 goals.
Comuna Recea form and stats
There's been little loot from Comuna Recea's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Liga 2. Comuna Recea only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws. Comuna seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Comuna had fun at their own home (Cluj Arena) last time out, beating CSM Slatina 5-2. P. Batin (3) and A. Mărieș scored. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting SSC Farul's place.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Comuna, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's hard not to mention P. Batin's lethal finishing against CSM Slatina. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Comuna's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Comuna Recea - Universitatea 1-0. Last five meetings between the teams: Universitatea won four, Comuna Recea won one and zero draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
