Their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

The Gaz Metan Medias is a club with little tradition in Romanian football, as its most important titles were won in 1999/00 and 2015/16, both in League II (second division of the Romanian Championship), in addition to three others titles of the League III (third division of the national competition). In the current season, the team finished the regular phase of the Romanian Championship in the thirteenth position, five points ahead of the last one, Juventus Bucuresti, while in the relegation phase they are fighting to get away from the last positions. In the last six games that the Gaz Metan Medias played in their stadium, in five there were more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match the boss will remain, as the Gaz Metan needs another positive result inside his stadium to stay away from the last positions.
Sepsi:
After 11 wins, 8 draws and 18 losses, the away team is currently in the 3 rd position, with 32 points won. In the last match, they have won at home against Juventus Bucureşti by (2-1), after in the previous match they have won at home, in a match against ACS Poli Timişoara, by (3-0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 19 suffered. For the championship, Sepsi won 9 points out of 30 possible, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 matches as a visitor. They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 37 matches in this competition, he only managed 2 comebacks in the 22 games he suffered the first goal. In the last 18 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 15 goals between minutes (76′-90 ‘).
The Sepsi is a modest club in Romania without titles or major campaigns, created in 2011. The team has a very modest stadium, with a capacity for 5,500 fans. The visiting team has been trying to stay in the elite of Romanian football, after a not very good regular season, the team has been trying to survive in the relegation round and it seems that it will get it, because it has practically ten points of advantage for the teams that they are in the descent zone. The Sepsi team has been doing good games away from home, because in the last five games as a visitor tied three and won two and in all there were more than 1.5 goals scored, so we believe that this pattern will be repeated.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.66
