National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's SR Municipal Braşov or Csikszereda that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither SR Municipal Braşov nor Csikszereda as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
SR Municipal Braşov form and stats
Last season their Romania Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.On the other hand, in the Romania Cup, SR Municipal Braşov has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses.
It's back home for Municipal, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Targu Secuiesc away with the result 3-2. Before that, Municipal had a 3. Liga: Series 5 home game versus Kids Tampa Brasov which ended with a victory 4-0.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Municipal, as the 3. Liga: Series 5 home game vs Blejoi Vispesti is only three days away.
Csikszereda form and stats
Csikszereda was sent out of Romania Cup in the 16th finals last season.Csikszereda are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Liga 2, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Csikszereda failed to get anything from their last game, a Liga 2 home match vs Unirea Slobozia that ended with defeat 0-1. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Odorheiu Secuiesc.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Csikszereda manager D. Suciu as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Metaloglobus.
It's early days yet, but Csikszereda has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
