Botoșani fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 4-1 Liga 1 Play Offs victory over FC U Craiova.
In that game, Botoșani had 54% possession and 8 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. For Botoșani, the goals were scored by Sebastian Mailat (75') and Eduard Florescu (90'). FC U Craiova had 6 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Vladislav Blănuță (20') was the scorer for FC U Craiova.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Botoșani have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Botoșani have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 7 goals on the way. Having said that, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern will be maintained in this upcoming match.
