Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt & Aerostar Bacău face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Romania Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ceahlaul and Aerostar Bacău.
Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt form and stats
Action has already taken place for Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt in Romania Cup as they have defeated CSM Bacau to reach the 3rd Round. Last season, Ceahlaul's Romania Cup journey ended in the 3rd round.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Bucovina Radauti are coming to town in three days.
Aerostar Bacău form and stats
Aerostar Bacău's mission in Romania Cup last season failed in the 4th round.It's not happening yet for Aerostar Bacău on their Liga 2 travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on C. Lupuţ, the Aerostar Bacău manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Aerostar lost away at Dunarea Calarasi (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Csikszereda in the Liga 2.
A quick return to home after this game, as Aerostar Bacău are hosting Sirineasa in the Liga 2 only three days away.
The attacking power of Aerostar when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. For Aerostar, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - zero - two (Ceahlaul wins - draws - Aerostar Bacău wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt missing players
