Hermannstadt arrive with momentum of their own after extending their unbeaten run. The visitors have combined resilience with consistent scoring in recent weeks, setting up what should be a closely contested encounter.
Voluntari’s Home Form Provides Encouragement Ahead of Return Leg
The Ilfov side come into this match after a narrow 3-2 defeat away to Hermannstadt, a result that still demonstrated their ability to create chances against top flight opposition. Before that setback, Voluntari had collected three wins from four matches and scored eight goals during that sequence.

They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five matches overall, highlighting a forward line that is operating with confidence.
The challenge for the hosts is defensive consistency. They have conceded in two of their last three fixtures, and another open contest could place pressure on the back line.
