1st position in the Liga 2 table for UTA Arad so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 9th-placed SSC Farul visits Stadionul Francisc von Neumann.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Liga 2 match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Rapid Bucuresti.
This pitch has artificial turf, which is not SSC Farul's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf SSC Farul have performed like this: Played three matches resulting in 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats with the goal stats 5-9 (scored/conceded).

7-1-0 is the performance here at Stadionul Francisc von Neumann so far in the Liga 2, giving UTA Arad a total of 22 from their 8 games here. Outstanding results! UTA Arad has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadionul Francisc von Neumann. We remember; it was Mioveni.
UTA Arad lost their last game at Rapid Bucuresti (placed 5th) after a 0-2 scoreline. 1-1 away at Metaloglobus before that.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier UTA Arad matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats (from three games).

SSC Farul form and stats
There's been little loot from SSC Farul's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 9 away games in the Liga 2. SSC Farul only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as SSC Farul have lost on their last two travels.
SSC Farul play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Metaloglobus (placed 6th). That result followed a home victory 5-0 versus Pandurii Targu Jiu.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and SSC Farul playing away, we found two games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.
The attacking power of SSC Farul when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 9 league matches away. As opposed to that, SSC Farul have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
