UTA Arad
LDDWWL ⚖
UTA Arad will be wanting a better result here after a 4-0 Liga I defeat last time out to Universitatea Craiova.
Samuel Teles (62'), Ștefan Baiaram (87') and Simon Elisor (89') scored for Universitatea Craiova.
An interesting feature of more recent UTA Arad games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.
Taking their prior sextet of clashes before this one, in 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a losing one. We will have to find out if that trend will end up being sustained here.
Oţelul Galaţi
WDDWWW 📈
Oţelul Galaţi will come into the encounter after a 2-1 Liga I win in the defeat of CFR Cluj in their previous game.
For Oţelul Galaţi, the goalscorers were Lameira (4') and Patrick (86'). Andrei Cordea (58') was the scorer for CFR Cluj.
The stats tell the story, and Oţelul Galaţi have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 7 goals in total. Defensively, Oţelul Galaţi seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly.
