National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Dumbrăviţa or CFR Cluj that keep their silverware dream alive.
CFR Cluj could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Liga 1 game only three sleeps ago.
Dumbrăviţa form and stats
Last season, Dumbrăviţa's Romania Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.With {2 Liga 2 wins}, 0 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Dumbrăviţa are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Gisa was the last player to score a league goal for Dumbrăviţa and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Dumbrăviţa haven't scored in 270 minutes.
The Dumbrăviţa fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stadionul CMC: A 0-3 defeat against CSM Iasi.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Brasov Steagul Renast (0-4).There will be little rest for Dumbrăviţa after this match as they are travelling to Dinamo Bucuresti for a Liga 2 game in only three days.
Dumbrăviţa have conceded 13 goals in these home games, a significant number.
CFR Cluj form and stats
Last season their Romania Cup adventure ended in the round of 32.3-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for CFR Cluj in their Liga 1 matches away.
The club members enjoyed CFR Cluj's previous fixture versus U Craiova 1948, a 3-1 win played at home.
Before that match, the win at home hosting KF Ballkani in the Europa Conference League (1-0). As mentioned earlier, CFR Cluj will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 4 wins (1 by two or more goals winning margin), 0 draws and 0 surprising defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Cluj now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga 1 game at Mioveni is waiting in only three days.
The visiting CFR Cluj have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 6 games. As opposed to that, CFR Cluj have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
