Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Jiul Petrosani & Gilortul face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Romania Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Jiul Petrosani form and stats
Last season their Romania Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.With {2 3. Liga: Series 5 wins}, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Jiul Petrosani are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 17 attempts. With nine home 3. Liga: Series 5 games in a row without a win, the Petrosani fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Zalau game long ago, can be stopped today.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Petrosani here at Stadionul Jiul in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 12 games). Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Jiul Petrosani with 26 goals conceded in these matches.
Gilortul form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gilortul so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-8 (win-draw-lose). Gilortul are still without points from their 3. Liga: Series 4 away games. 8 games, 8 defeats. It's all red in the travel logs of Gilortul, having lost eight matches in a row as the visiting team.
Goals are few and far between in Gilortul's away league games. Only 4 goals from 8 travels. The Gilortul defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 24 goals in their away games.
