Farul and Hermannstadt meet NOW, in stage #22 of the Superliga, in a match played in an almost empty stadium, but on a playing surface in very good conditions. The match can be watched in liveTEXT format on GSP.ro, as well as live on TV on Prima Sport 1 and Digi Sport 1.

Farul sets out on the road with a clear objective: qualifying for the play-offs. Coach Ianis Zicu has drawn the stake since the resumption of preparations this winter, when he bluntly stated that missing the first six places would mean his departure from the bench.
On the other hand, Hermannstadt is in a critical situation and urgently needs points to get out of the red zone of the standings. Being in penultimate place, the Sibiu formation treats the duel with Farul as a final. Technician Dorinel Munteanu clearly announced his team's intentions, emphasizing that the match is “all or nothing” and that the objective is to get all the points to leave the danger zone as quickly as possible.
