LiontipsOtelul - FCSB. Prediction and bets on the match of the Romanian championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Last season, Otelul finished eighth in the Romanian Championship and participated in the playoffs for the right to participate in the Conference League, but lost to Universitatea Cluj (0:2), leaving them without European cups. This season, the team is only in tenth place, but is only two points behind the top 6. The club from Galati started the season well and did not lose for a long time, but recently everything has gone wrong. The team was eliminated from the cup, losing to Miercurea Ciuc (1:2), and in the championship they lost to CFR Cluj (0:2), Unira Slobozia (0:2) and Politehnica (1:2). Only in the last round did they finally manage to break the losing streak, beating Farul away (1:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts are missing Viktor Bogachuk, Christian Chira, Jonathan Cisse and Yuri Cisotti due to injuries. Joao Lameira will not be able to help the team due to an excess of yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last 11 matches.
- The hosts have conceded only one goal in their last three matches.
Tentative line-up: Popescu - Tomasevic, Stevanovic, Angha, Maftei - Santos, Zivulic, Silva - Maciel, Juric, Pop.
Current form
FCSB is currently only in fifth place in the championship standings, but the density is high - four points are enough to catch up with the leading CFR. Three of them can be won back today. In the last rounds, the only misfire occurred in the away match with Botosani (0:1). At the same time, the team managed to beat Universitatea Cluj (2:1) and Unirea Slobozia (3:0). The Bucharest team continues to fight in the Europa League, where it recently managed to defend a goalless draw with Olympiacos, despite the removal of Birlidzhi.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Alexandru Baluta and Mihai Lisandro will not be helping the team in the upcoming match. The appearance of Baba Alhassan and Luis Felipe on the field is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered only one defeat in its last eight matches.
- The visitors managed to keep a clean sheet in the last two matches
Estimated line-up: Tarnovanu - Pantea, Ngezana, Dava, Popescu - Alhassan, Ejuma - Stefanescu, Tanase, Miculescu - Birlidja.
Trends
Bet Exact score 0:1
The visitors have won three of their last six away wins by that score
6.00Bet At least one team will not score
The bet has played in the hosts' last three matches
1.65Bet Number 1 in the final score
This pattern has worked in four of the hosts' last five matches
1.61Tip and bets
The hosts have been more successful in recent head-to-head matches, but right now the team is not in the best shape and only recently managed to break a winless streak. It is unlikely that in such a state they will be able to beat the current champion, who is trying to catch up with the leaders in the standings. We believe that the visitors will be able to take three points in this match.
Our forecast is a victory for FCSB for 2.13
Bet on total
FCSB prefers to bet on defense and will probably impose its football on the opponent. In this scenario, it is logical to pay attention to the bet on the total under goals scored. In none of the last six face-to-face matches were more than two goals scored. This match will probably not be productive either.
Our prediction is total under two goals at 1.85
Bet on corners
FCSB, as the favorite, will dictate the terms of the game and will spend a lot of time at the opponent goal in positional attacks. With a high degree of probability, the guests will win on corners today.
Our prediction is FCSB win on corners for 1.70
