Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario will be the home team to win the with some difficulty to and continue in the fight for the title. Playing at home, it is expected that Corneliu Papura's team will dominate the match and create the best goal opportunities, as they present more technical / tactical arguments than their opponent. On the other hand, FC Viitorul should adopt a defensive mentality in search of the opponent's error to go out on the counterattack and surprise the rival defense. Having said that and taking into account the recent results between the two teams, betting in favor of Universitatea Craiova is a worthwhile option.
Preview
Universitatea Craiova and Viitorul meet at Stadionul Ion Oblemenco, in a match for the 18th round of the Liga I. Universitatea Craiova got an away win by (1‑4), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 14‑09‑2020. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 6 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 30‑09‑2019, in a match for the Liga I, Universitatea Craiova won by (3‑1). The goals of the match were scored by E. Koljić (45' ), M. Bălașa (53' ) and A. Cicâldău (44' ), for Universitatea Craiova, and by B. Țîru (8' ), for Viitorul. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.
Analysis U Craiova
The home team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 34 points won, after 10 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Sepsi, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Astra, by (1‑1). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in away matches; against 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses at their stadium. For the league, Universitatea Craiova won 13 points out of 24 possible points, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 8 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.
The group led by Corneliu Papura should present themselves in a 4-3-3, privileging the defensive organization and the counterattacks, mostly, channeled through the side corridors. The three most advanced players responsible for making sense tormenting the rival defensive structure are George Cimpanu, Ivan Mamut and Reagy Ofosu. As far as the midfield is concerned, it should be formed by Dan Nistor, Alexandru Mateiu and Alexandru Cicaldau. Apparently, the Universitatea Craiova coach should have all the players available.
Confirmed Lineup: Mirko Pigliacelli, George Alexandru, Marius Constantin, Stefan Vlădoiu, Paul Papp, Nicușor Bancu, Reagy Ofosu, Alexandru Cicâldău, Alexandru Mateiu, Dan Nistor, Ivan Mamut.
Coach: C. Gâlcă.
