LiontipsBotosani - Radnicki. Prediction and bets on a friendly match
Command Analysis
Current form
Botosani can't shake off the status of one of the clear outsiders of the Romanian championship. The club finished the first half of the season in the penultimate place and is already four points behind Unirea and Politehnica, who share 13th place. The team ended 2024 with three defeats in a row - from FCSB (1:2), Hermannstadt (1:2) and UTA Arad (0:2). They managed to win only in the cup match with Ceahlăul (1:0). During the January break, the nominal hosts already played two friendly matches, in which they tied with Bulgarian Ludogorets (1:1) and confidently beat Viktoria (4:2) from the third German league.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the friendly match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has lost only one of its last four matches.

Current form
Radnički have been showing good football this season and are among the top five teams in the Serbian Super League. The team is in fifth place in the league table and is only two points behind OFK Belgrade, who are in third place. The visitors are unlikely to be able to compete with Crvena Zvezda and Partizan, but they can fight for bronze medals. Shortly before the break in the championship, the club from Kragujevac was eliminated from the Serbian Cup, losing to Novi Pazar (0:2), but in the championship they managed to beat their teammates from Niš (2:1) and Spartak from Subotica (2:1). However, in the last match of 2024, Radnički lost away to Vojvodina (2:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their squad ahead of the friendly match.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the last five matches of the visitors ended in a draw
- The team has scored two goals in each of its last three matches
Tip and bets
In a friendly match, the opponents have no reason to sit back in defense. The players will certainly try to show themselves in attack, and there will definitely be many substitutions, which eliminates the fatigue factor. The teams have scored a lot in recent matches, so we should expect them to perform well in a friendly game. Let bet on the total over.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.67
Bet on the outcome
The main goal of the opponents is to prepare for the second half of the season, and the result in this meeting is already in second place. It is unlikely that anyone will have an absolute advantage in this sparring, which means that the probability of a draw is quite high. This is the option that can be considered for the second bet.
Our prediction is a draw at 3.20
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.20
