Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario will be for some goals to occur. Astra should adopt a defensive stance in search of the defensive weaknesses of the visiting team, in order to reach the winning goal and climb the leaderboard. On the other hand, Universitatea Craiova should dominate the match and have the best goal opportunities, as they have a more technically advanced team. Having said that and taking into account the last matches between the two teams, we would bet on “more than 2 goals”.
