National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Axiopolis or FCM Baia Mare that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both contenders have had adequate rest since their last game. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Axiopolis form and stats
Action has already taken place for Axiopolis in Romania Cup as they have defeated Unirea Constanta, Agricola Borcea, Gloria Albesti, Unirea Branistea, Victoria Gugesti and Victoria Traian to reach the Play-offs. Axiopolis participated in Romania Cup the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.When playing at home in the 3. Liga: Series 3, Axiopolis have managed 4 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 9 games.
Axiopolis's previous fixture was a Romania Cup game also played at home, ending 3-1 versus Unirea Constanta. The home team are looking to repeat that performance.
Ahead of that game, a home victory hosting Agricola Borcea (after extra-time) in the Romania Cup.
Goals are plentiful at Stadionul Trust in the league this season as Axiopolis has scored 23 goals here in 9 home games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
FCM Baia Mare form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated CSM Satu Mare in order to reach play-offs of Romania Cup. Last season their Romania Cup adventure ended in the round of 16.As the visiting team in Liga 2 matches, FCM Baia Mare have produced an overall stat of 1-1-2 so far.
Baia's previous game was their home loss versus Dumbrăviţa (3-4). As you can tell from the result, the match against Dumbrăviţa was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Before that, the Romania Cup victory away at CSM Satu Mare.
The schedule is very tough for FCM Baia Mare now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga 2 game at CSM Iaşi is waiting in only four days.
Baia are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. FCM Baia Mare's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
