FC Hermannstadt

WDDDD

Hermannstadt, from Sibiu, whose German name "Hermannstadt" reflects the city's Saxon heritage — have been in decent form unbeaten n five Championship Round outings. At the Municipal Hermann stadium, a compact ground in one of Romania's most atmospheric heritage cities, they carry genuine home advantage and the backing of a community that has embraced their team's Liga I presence with genuine pride. Their alternating results reflect a squad that can compete in the Championship Round without dominating.

The two-time defending champions, Bucharest's most successful modern club, arrive this Monday fixture without a victory in consecutive games since their three game winning streak. Their title defence and the ambition to secure a historic third consecutive Liga I crown has produced the kind of form that makes them one of the most dangerous visiting sides in Romanian football. Away at Hermannstadt's compact Sibiu ground, a challenging venue for any League opponent, they carry the quality and the winning mentality of champions who refuse to relinquish their crown without a fight.
