National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Csikszereda or UTA Arad that keep their silverware dream alive.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Liga 2 match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Stadionul Municipal. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, UTA Arad have had more rest.

UTA Arad form and stats

Arad's mission in Romania Cup last season failed in the 16th finals.

UTA Arad's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed UTA Arad collect 12 points from their 6 away matches in the Liga 1. 3 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 0 defeats). Arad are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played nine in a row without losing.

It's the second away game in a row for UTA Arad, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus CFR Cluj in the Liga 1 last time out. The game before that, in the Liga 1, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Gaz Metan Medias.

Arad have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 8 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Arad as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Last two meetings between the teams: Csikszereda won zero, UTA Arad won two and zero draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, zero matches with two goals or less.
