📏 Form Guide
Petrolul Ploieşti
DDWDDD 📈
Petrolul Ploieşti will play in this game following on from a 0-0 Liga I tied result vs Universitatea Cluj.
In that match, Petrolul Ploieşti had 53% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Universitatea Cluj had 15 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.
Their more recent scorelines shine a light on the fact that not much more can be done by the Petrolul Ploieşti defence. Petrolul Ploieşti have been stingy, resulting in the number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous six matches standing at 3. That sort of trend might not be carried forward into this game, however.
