WWDWLW

CSM Politehnica Iași, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-1 Liga 1 Play Offs triumph over Gloria Buzău.

In that match, CSM Politehnica Iași managed 37% possession and 19 shots at goal with 8 on target. The scorer for CSM Politehnica Iași was Xhuliano Skuka (2'). Gloria Buzău had 19 shots at goal with 4 on target.

A recurring feature of more recent CSM Politehnica Iași games is the number of nil scores.

Taking their previous six matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on both teams scoring would've lost. However, we must now wait to see whether that pattern shall be replicated in this next game or not.

🗞️ Team News: CSM Politehnica Iași

We think that Alb-Albaştrii will probably use a 4-4-1-1 formation for the game, utilising Jesus Fernandez, Guilherme Soares, Mohammed Umar, Matija Boben, Rares Ispas, Sekou Camara, Mihai Bordeianu, Julian Marchioni, Stefan Stefanovici, Alin Roman and Xhuliano Skuka.

ℹ️ Team News: Botoșani

We’re of the thinking that Botoșănenii appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Giannis Anestis, Adams Friday, Patricio Matricardi, Paul Iacob, Michael Pavlovic, Enriko Papa, Robert Filip, Jaly Mouaddib, Stefan Panoiu, Hervin Ongenda and Marian Chica-Rosa.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the view that CSM Politehnica Iași will need to put in a solid display to hit the back of the net against this Botoșani outfit who will likely just have the edge.

Our tip is therefore for a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Botoșani at the end of the 90 minutes.

Little in this one.
