Arges
- Arges have won one of their last five matches (D1, L3), losing three straight.
- Arges have been in poor form of late, losing three matches in a row, and they welcome FC Botosani to Stadionul Orasenesc on Sunday knowing they're in for a tight game.
- The home team have only played seven matches in Liga I 2026/2027, so they are level on points with Botosani in 11th, but they do have a match in hand.
- FC Arges are in their worst period of the season and the last three matches read like a mini-slump - a 1-0 loss away at Otelul Galati, a 1-0 home defeat to Sepsi and a 5-0 mauling at the hands of FCSB in the cup.
- Robert Moldoveanu is Arges' top scorer in Liga I 2026/2027 with three goals in seven, but he is their only attacking edge right now.
Botosani
- Botosani have won two of their last five (D1, L2).
- Andrei Dumiter has been the sharpest finisher in Liga I 2026/2027 for Botosani with six goals in eight matches and four of their last eight goals in the last five matches.
- The visitors have had a mixed start to the season in 7th place with ten points from eight games, but they've lost two and drawn two of four away from home.
- Botosani boss Marius Croitoru has been pushing the tempo and hunting turnovers since he took charge of the Moldovenii in March 2026, with his high-press 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 system ideally suited to the likes of Zoran Mitrov, who has three assists in their last five games.
Head-to-Head
- Botosani have avoided defeat in Arges' last three home games in the rivalry.
- The previous meeting finished 0-0 at this venue in Liga I 2025/2026, but Botosani have won four of the last five meetings and avoided defeat in the alb-violeții's last three at home in the fixture.
