FC Argeș – FC Hermannstadt will take place on Wednesday at 15:00 in “Trivale” the duel will count for the 14th round of League 1.
FC Argeș approaches the game from the last place of the ranking with 9 points while FC Hermannstadt is on the 12th position with 14 points, having a less disputed match, the backlog with Viitorul Constanța, a match postponed after the Sibiu team they faced an outbreak of coronavirus.
The newly-promoted comes after a borderline defeat suffered at the end of the match at Clinceni with Academica, score 1-0, Ilfov prevailing thanks to a goal scored by Răzvan Andronic in the 89th minute. Also in the same minute the fate of the points game between FC Hermannstadt and FC Voluntari, Răzban Dâlbea turning the penalty through which he took the score to 3-2, thus ending the Sibiu series of six consecutive matches in the championship without victory, in which they recorded three draws and three failures.
FC Argeș has four consecutive matches in League 1 without a victory;
1-0 is the score with which FC Argeș lost the last three official matches (n.r. two in the championship and one in the Romanian Cup);
In 8 of the 12 matches played by Hermannstadt in this championship, the selection “both score” was the winner;
Surprisingly, despite a better ranking and a more valuable lot, Sibiu are seen by bookmakers as outsiders in this match. Undoubtedly, the difference in quotas is given by the situation in which Hermannstadt is, the group prepared by Ruben Albes being still affected by the coronavirus. However, the situation could not be more dramatic than it was on Sunday when Dâlbea & co gathered their ranks and showed that they have the resources to face the rigors of League 1, as evidenced by the victory with FC Voluntari, a team that is at least one class above FC Arges.
Both Pitesti and Sibiu showed great weaknesses on the defensive phase, with an average of more than one goal scored per game. The hosts will be forced to play everything on the attack card in order not to lose contact with the front platoon while the Transylvanians, with a positive result, will start hoping again in the playoffs. This is also the reason why we expect an open game in which both teams look for victory and score on the scoreboard.
PREDICTION: FC Arges to win @ 2,14
