Hermannstadt Preview – Can Hermannstadt bounce back at home?
Hermannstadt’s impressive unbeaten run of 6 matches without defeat in the Romanian Liga 1 was brought to an abrupt end last time out in the domestic top flight when they suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Botosani.
The hosts still remain in the Relegation Round group in 10th place on the Liga 1 ladder and a significant 16 points adrift of the top six pack and Gaz Metan, so it looks increasingly likely that Hermannstadt will have to make do with further participation in the Relegation Round when the division splits into two soon.
However, Hermannstadt should be confident that they can avoid a relegation battle as they possess a pretty reasonable looking home record of 5-4-3 15/16 which includes being unbeaten in their last 5 matches on home turf at their Stadionul Municipal.
The hosts have lost just twice in their last 9 matches at home.
Astra Preview – Can Astra avoid third loss on trot?
The visitors will make their way to Hermannstadt on Monday night looking to avoid a third defeat on the trot in the Romanian top flight following recent back-to-back defeats against Dinamo Bucaresti and Chindia.
In actual fact, Astra have lost 3 of their last 4 matches overall in Liga 1 as they’d earlier been handed a 2-0 defeat away from home at CFR Cluj, while also recording a 3-1 home win over Academica Clinceni as well.
Astra currently occupy 5th place on the Liga 1 ladder but this is largely due to their impressive record at home where they’ve lost just once throughout this season, but results away from home have been far less convincing.
An away record of 5-1-6 12/14 looks very inconsistent and this has certainly been the case as Astra strung together an impressive 4-match winning streak recently, but have since fallen to back-to-back defeats at CFR Cluj and Dinamo Bucaresti.
