- UTA Arad are winless but unbeaten in two home games in Liga I 2026-2027 (D2), conceding 2. Corvinul Hunedoara are winless with a loss in two away games in Liga I 2026-2027 (D1, L1), conceding 2.
UTA look to find some consistency
With 2 draws and 2 goals conceded at home from their first two Liga I 2026-2027 games, FC UTA Arad come into Saturday's game at Arena Francisc Neuman, Romania, looking to find some continuity after a 1-0 away defeat to FC Voluntari followed up with a 0-0 draw at home to Rapid Bucuresti.
Coach Adrian Mihalcea, who was appointed on 5 June 2025, has kept his side compact and tough to break down at the back, with Ismet Sinani the most reliable finisher in the team so far, with 1 goal in 3 games in this competition. Alin Roman has been more creative, however, with 1 assist in 4 games.
Corvinul still seeking a first road win
Corvinul have played 2 away games in Liga I 2026/2027 and are yet to win a match on the road, although they have conceded only 2 goals in their two away trips. Corvinul are on a 2-game draw streak, having tied 1-1 at home against Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe before earning a 0-0 draw at FC Botosani in Liga I 2026-2027.
Coach Florin Maxim's men have played a more proactive, high pressing game than UTA this season, with plenty of attacking play on the wings, and they will try to exploit the structure of Mihalcea's side and force some turnovers.
Andrej Fabry is Corvinul's leading scorer so far in this season's Liga I 2026-2027 with 1 goal from 4 appearances.
