💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Botoșani have the ability to score a goal against this Universitatea Craiova lineup, but a single goal might not be enough to prevent defeat.

We therefore reckon that it will be a narrow 1-2 win for Universitatea Craiova when the referee blows the final whistle. Looking forward to this.
