Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ocna Mureș & Universitatea Craiova face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Romania Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Ocna Mureș form and stats
Mureș was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Romania Cup.The Ocna Mureș crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Universitatea Alba Iulia here at Stadionul Minaur.
A 3. Liga: Series 9 defeat was the result before that one, 0-7 away at Corvinul Hunedoara.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Mureș as they are travelling to their away game against Viitorul Cluj in the 3. Liga: Series 9. That match is three days after this one.
Universitatea Craiova form and stats
Last season their Romania Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals against Sepsi.The visitors are W3-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Liga 1.
Universitatea Craiova are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the fixture against Universitatea Cluj.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Sepsi at their stadium, the result 1-0.The schedule is very tough for Universitatea now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga 1 game at Rapid Bucuresti is waiting in only three days.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
