Hermannstadt continue to hope for a place in the league’s conference league qualification phase, as they are currently second in the relegation group with 28 points. It already appears that they have avoided relegation, as they are 7 points clear of the last 4 places on the table. They remain unbeaten in their last 3 games, where they saw 2 draws and a win.

Alessandro Murgia will be left of this squad in this game after picking up a red card in the 24th minute of their last match against Botosani. Despite this red card, Hermannstadt still got 50% of the ball and still managed to get an equaliser in the 90+2nd minute when Cristian Negut levelled for Hermannstadt after Sabastian Mailat had given Botosani the lead in the 61st minute of the game.

Petrolul still have a good chance of making it into the top two of this group, especially if they can get a win here against Hermannstadt. The Yellow Wolves have lost just 1 of their last 5 games. They have accumulated 26 points and are just 4 points behind the top team in the relegation group and 2 points behind Hermannstadt, who sit second on the table.

Hermannstadt – Catalin Cabuz, Mihai Butean, Valerica Gaman, Florin Bejan, Raul Oprut, Silviu Balaure, Ciprian Biceanu, Sota Mino, Ianis Stoica, Gabriel Iancu, Daniel Paraschiv.

Petrolul – Lukas Zima, Sergiu Hanca, Paul Papp, Marian Huja, Valentin Ticu, Tommi Jyry, Takayuki Seto, A. Marian Musi, Jair, Gheorghe Grozav, Christian Irobiso.

Both sides are equally matched, and separating them will take much work. A goalless draw is on the card here. Moreover, both sides have played a goalless draw in their last 2 games. Clear indications are showing we can have such a result again. With this, take the visitors to win or draw to be safer, but a goalless draw is still perfect here.
