Form & Context

CS U Craiova demonstrated a strong home performance with a high xG and a solid defensive record, indicating a compact but effective offensive approach that capitalized on increased tempo. KuPS showed a versatile away profile with a notable xG and a higher number of goals conceded, yet maintained a high success rate on the road, reflecting a well-executed tactical plan despite playing away from home.

Goals

Historical encounters between these teams consistently featured goals from both sides, with a clear trend toward matches exceeding one and a half goals. Both teams contributed to the scoreline, and the games tended to open up as they progressed, resulting in lively and goal-rich contests.

Corners

The average number of corners in their direct matchups was around eight per game, with KuPS averaging significantly more corners per away match compared to Craiova's home average. This indicated active wing play and set-piece opportunities, often leading to critical moments late in the game.

›Understanding this block

What is compared: Each team's profile over the whole season — home and away combined — against its own league's average. This is the only section of the page where both teams are read on the same basis; elsewhere the numbers come from the home or away split.
Why two units: A goal average has no scale of its own: “1.59 goals” says nothing until you know what the league does, so the gap is given in relative terms (“+23%”). A percentage already has one: the gap between 73% and 58% is given in points (“+15 pts”), never in relative terms — that would be a percentage of a percentage.
What the sign means: A “+” only means “above the league average”. It is not always favourable: above on goals scored is an asset, above on goals conceded is not. Those two rows carry the matching note. The others — corners, cards, both teams to score — describe a style of play, not a quality: they carry none.
The reference: Under each label, “League avg” is the competition's average per team — the second figure in the block header. The first counts the goals of both teams together: that is why it is roughly twice as large.
The colours: Cyan is the home team, amber the away team — the two names at the top of the block already carry those tints. They say nothing about whether a number is good.
