National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Tunari or Concordia Chiajna that keep their silverware dream alive.
These are hustling days for the team playing at home, as they played only four days ago in the 3. Liga: Series 4. Thankfully the previous game, versus Arges Pitesti II, was also a home game here at Stadionul Concordia. The away team is better rested.
Tunari form and stats
Last season, Tunari's Romania Cup journey ended in the 2nd round.On the other hand, in the Romania Cup, Tunari has performed like this (both home and away): 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses.
A nice win for Tunari last time playing, versus Arges Pitesti II. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1.
A 3. Liga: Series 4 defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Rapid Bucuresti II.The manager Odoroaba will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Unirea Bascov in only three days.
Concordia Chiajna form and stats
They also participated in Romania Cup last season. This ended in the 16th finals.Concordia Chiajna are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Liga 2. It’s been three wins in a row for Concordia on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
Concordia Chiajna's last game was the home draw against Şirineaşa (0-0).
Ahead of that match was the Romania Cup away draw versus Progresul Spartac (after extra-time, 4-5 on penalties) that ended 1-1.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Concordia manager C. Niculescu as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Dacia Unirea Braila.
It's early days yet, but Concordia Chiajna has scored 4 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
