Gloria Bistrita is passing through a decent patch of form under coach Nae Manea, as they have won three games and lost two in the league, while they also secured the qualification for the semi-finals of the Cup. The hosts are on a two games winning run, after the precious away win from Craiova and the home win against relegation fellow strugglers Branesti, and are now more relaxed as after a long spell, they have climb up above the relegation zone to 12th place. Brazilian striker Junior Moraes is in great form, having scored 8 goals this season and he will be the main threat for Timisoara.
Undefeated at the half of the season
The guests are the proud holders of a nice record, as they are the only side from the league which didn`t lost a game in the first half of the season (8 wins and 9 draws). The players will have a special motivation as the club celebrates the 89th anniversary, but also because is the last away game of the year and it will be extremely important to keep up the pace with leaders Otelul.
It must be a draw
This game has draw written all over on it. Gloria is fighting against relegation, but they are a hard nut to crack on their home ground, having lost just twice on 9 games (4W, 3D, 2L), while they conceded just 7 goals in the process, while the guests are draw specialists when playing on the road (7 draws out of their 9 away games). Furthermore, 6 out of the last 7 games played in Bistrita have ended as draws, as well as the reverse game from Timisoara on Matchday 1 of the season (2-2). The draw will suit both sides, as Bistrita will stay clear of the danger zone, while Timisoara will keep their invincibility.
