SSC Farul vs CS U Craiova: match statistics
As the league leaders, CS U Craiova are demonstrating significantly better form than SSC Farul, which is confirmed by their record of 13 wins compared to the hosts' mere 8 victories over the entire season. The visitors have collected an impressive 12 points in their last 5 matches (4 wins, 1 defeat) and scored 15 goals, while Farul have managed only 5 points with a 1-2-2 record. The quality gap is further supported by Craiova's away statistics: a 45% win rate, a superior shot conversion rate (12% vs 9%), and higher offensive efficiency despite similar average possession (57%). Despite Farul's home advantage, their poor recent form (averaging only 1 point per game) and the fact that Craiova score an average of 1.55 goals per away match while conceding just 0.91, provide the visitors with a tangible edge. An additional argument is the goal difference: +7 for Craiova away versus +6 for Farul at home, which, combined with the visitors' leading position, makes them the favorite in this encounter.
