Preview

Home - FC Unirea 2004 Slobozia

• Slobozia are 12th in Liga I 2025-2026 with 21 points from 23 games.
• Manager Andrei Prepelita has installed a pragmatic, counter-attacking system since taking the helm in June 2025 and his side are a compact 4-2-3-1 that play deep and look to hit on the break.
• Slobozia have lost four of their last five in Liga I, losing 3-1 to UTA Arad in their last home game before being beaten 1-0 at Universitatea Cluj last time out.

Away - Hermannstadt

• Hermannstadt are 15th with 14 points from 23 games.
• Hermannstadt’s 4-2-3-1 set-up is more open and includes a double-pivot.
• The team create plenty of structure in their build-up and overload the flanks with rotations to create space in behind the opponent’s defensive line.
• Hermannstadt have drawn three and lost two of their last five.

Head-to-Head

• Hermannstadt have been solid enough on the road to secure back-to-back draws, but they lack a cutting edge and Slobozia’s home record is so poor it’s difficult to recommend a win for either side.
