Hermannstadt take on the visitors Sepsi at the Municipal Stadium in the 1st tour of Liga I. The match will be played in Sibiu on Saturday, July 21th.
Hermannstadt is a relatively new project which was started in 2015. Since then the team has been able to finish the journey from the lower classes to the biggest football league in Romania. This is one of the few teams in the country that have no financial problems so we should expect good results from them. Last season the Sibiu People were able to get to the finals of their national cup. On their way to the final match they knocked out three clubs from Liga I including Steaua who they beat with a 3-0 score. Hermannstadt had 19 home matches last season and won 16 of them, 3 came to be draws. Surely it will be harder for them to play in Liga I than in Liga II but their upcoming opponent is not that scary.

Sepsi had got second place in 2016/2017 Liga II season and had a chance to perform among the best clubs in Romania in Liga I last year. As a result they didn`t show much there. The White and Reds finished the first part of the last season on the 12 place of 14 and got to the bottom seven group. Good for them, they were solid in this group and avoided relegarion several tours before the end of the championship. Sepsi is not a stable Liga I competitor, they don`t have enough experience to use just their class to beat Hermannstadt.
The chances are equal for both teams but Hermannstadt has a home field advantage. Don`t think that if the Sibiu People have just got to the Liga I they are a weaker team.
Prediction for the match: Hermannstadt to win with 0 handicap.
