A friendly match where Argeş host CSM Deva, with no points at stake, but a game both sides use to fine-tune before the season starts. What is tangible enough is the head-to-head record, where Argeş have clearly been superior throughout. This time the difference is that both teams are still in preseason, so the starting lineups and rhythm of play are not yet as settled as in league games. Argeş take the field as the side superior on reputation and past head-to-head results. Their attack will likely look to push forward from the start, while CSM Deva come as the away team that has to defend in an organised way rather than open up and trade blows, because if they open up against a host with more quality, the chance of conceding rises immediately. The game should take on a look where Argeş control the ball and create more chances, while CSM Deva have to rely on counter-attacking moments and the solidity of their back line to keep the game within reach. If they can handle the early pressure, the game will stretch out and end with the hosts still having to work hard for goals.
