Chindia Targoviste arrives for this match after a 0-0 draw, on the trip to the field of FC Academica Clinceni, in a match related to the third day of League I. The men of the house had more of the match most of the time, with more shots on goal, but it was the visitors who were closest to undoing the zero, with a shot from the penalty spot, wasted by Daniel Florea. With this result, the local team added the second consecutive game without knowing the taste of defeat in the championship, where they now occupy the seventh position with four points, the result of a victory, a draw and a defeat.
The team led by Emil Sandoi must appear in a 4-4-2 formation, favoring counterattacks from the side aisles. The two most advanced players in charge of making sense of the rival defensive structure are Blaise Yaméogo and Daniel Florea. As for the midfield, it must be made up of Cristian Negut, Paul Iacob, Marco Dulca and Tomas Díaz Grassano, a player with a great capacity for balance and goal. For this game, the club coach does not have any important absences.
Hermannstadt :
After 2 draws and 1 defeat, the visiting team is currently in 11th position with 2 points won. In their last match, they lost in an away match against CFR Cluj by (1‑0), after having drawn in the previous match at home, in a match against Academica Clinceni, by (2‑2). This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has registered 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses as a visitor; against 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions, Hermannstadt won 3, tied 3 and lost 4. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 7 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has scored regularly, having scored goals in 9 of the last 10 games. This is a team that scores very few first times and that only managed to open the scoring in 2 of its last 13 games, of these 2 it reached the break with an advantage in all but never managed to maintain the advantage until the end of the 90 ‘.
FC Hermannstadt lost 1-0 away from CFR Cluj’s stronghold, still without winning in this edition of League I, in this sequence they have two draws and one defeat. The visiting team, currently eleventh in the league, had many difficulties to impose their game and take advantage of the few opportunities they had in the game. The result is scarce due to the amount of opportunities that the owners of the house had at their disposal.
For this game, away from home, coach Ruben Albes must keep the team 4-3-3, favoring the game of rapid transition. Petrisor Petrescu, Andrian Ionut Balan and Jô Santos should make up for the visiting attack, while Romário Pires, Andrei Sintean and Razvan Dalbea should occupy midfield. Apparently the Hermannstadt coach has the team at full capacity.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,86
