Voluntari form and stats

Voluntari's results here at Stadionul Anghel Iordanescu in the Liga 1 have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 9 defeats.

The fans are hoping that Voluntari will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Liga 1 game against Academica Clinceni. Prior to that, an away loss at Hermannstadt.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Voluntari have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won four, drawn five and lost three.

The manager M. Teja will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to CSM Iaşi in only four days.

Voluntari have scored 10 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.

Sepsi form and stats

Home advantage was not enough for Sepsi in their previous game, as they lost their Romania Cup-match, hosting FCSB, 0-1. Ahead of that match was the Liga 1 away draw versus Hermannstadt that ended 2-2.
