UPDATE 13:12 | FC Argeș, without Mario Tudose
Last minute absence at FC Argeș: Mario Tudose, 21 years old, the most used footballer of the white-violets this season, is unavailable for the match of Pitesti with Metaloglobus, scheduled today, from 17:00, in Clinceni.
Gazeta Sporturilor found out that Bogdan Andone will not be able to use the 21-year-old stopper against the Bucharest team, who suffered a muscle contracture and will not be forced against the last-ranked team. Tudose also had a minor problem in the match with Oțelul (1-2), the last one since 2025, when he stayed in the booth at halftime also due to a muscle problem.
Metaloglobus – FC Argeș, the most important details, provided by GSP statistician Liviu Manolache:
-
Two wins, three draws and six defeats is the record recorded by the Bucharesters in the championship at home. They have conceded at least one goal in 10 of their 11 home games.
-
Pitesti won five of the 11 matches, and two other times they ended in a draw.
-
11 matches without conceding a goal were collected by the Argesians in the current edition, a figure that we only meet with those from Dinamo.
-
The two teams have met in the main domestic competition only in the round of the current regular season, on August 31, 2025, when the Argesians won in Mioveni 2-1 (Ricardo Matos, Caio Ferreira / David Irimia).
-
Mihai Teja vs. Bogdan Andone in all competitions: 4 direct duels – 1 draw – 3 successes Andone.
-
Dragoș Huiban, Damia Sabater, respectively Mario Tudose and Roberto Sierra are the players from the two groups who have checked attendance in all 22 rounds of the current season.
The band from Pantelimon started the year 2026 with the same step pressed towards the basement of the ranking. The “red lantern” from League 1 lost in Giulesti, 0-1 with Rapid, and coach Mihai Teja sent a strong message to the management after the match, referring directly to the lack of transfers and the need to strengthen the team.
In contrast, the outlook is much more optimistic at FC Argeș, a team that is also in its first season after promotion. The “Purple Eagles” currently occupy a play-off spot and are coming off the back of an important 1-0 win against FCSB at home in Mioveni.
